(JavaScript) Convert DSA PEM Private Key to DER

Converts a DSA private key from PEM format to DER. The first part of the example will convert an unencrypted PEM to DER, then 2nd part will convert an encrypted PEM to unencrypted DER.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var dsa = new CkDsa();

// Load a PEM private key.
var pemPrivateKey;
pemPrivateKey = dsa.LoadText("dsa_priv.pem");
// Import the unencrypted PEM into the DSA object.
success = dsa.FromPem(pemPrivateKey);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(dsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Write it out as a DER file:
success = dsa.ToDerFile("dsa_priv.der");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(dsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Load an encrypted PEM private key.
pemPrivateKey = dsa.LoadText("dsa_privEncrypted.pem");
// Import the encrypted PEM into the DSA object.
success = dsa.FromEncryptedPem("myPassword",pemPrivateKey);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(dsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Write it out as an unencrypted DER file:
success = dsa.ToDerFile("dsa_priv2.der");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(dsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Finished!");
