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.

    //  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
    password := "myPfxPassword"

    //  Decode the base64 text into PFX / PKCS#12 bytes and load them.  Common encodings include base64
