Load a PFX from an Encoded String

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.LoadPfxEncoded, which decodes text using a named binary encoding (such as base64) and loads the resulting bytes as a PFX / PKCS#12 container.

Background. This is useful when the PKCS#12 data has been transported or stored as printable text, such as base64.
