.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBPKCS8_encrypt()\fR and \fBPKCS8_encrypt_ex()\fR perform encryption of an object \fIp8\fR using
the password \fIpass\fR of length \fIpasslen\fR, salt \fIsalt\fR of length \fIsaltlen\fR
and iteration count \fIiter\fR.
The resulting \fBX509_SIG\fR contains the encoded algorithm parameters and encrypted
key.
.PP
\&\fBPKCS8_decrypt()\fR and \fBPKCS8_decrypt_ex()\fR perform decryption of an \fBX509_SIG\fR in
\&\fIp8\fR using the password \fIpass\fR of length \fIpasslen\fR along with algorithm
parameters obtained from the \fIp8\fR.
.PP
\&\fBPKCS8_set0_pbe()\fR and \fBPKCS8_set0_pbe_ex()\fR perform encryption of the \fIp8inf\fR
using the password \fIpass\fR of length \fIpasslen\fR and parameters \fIpbe\fR.
.PP
Functions ending in \fB_ex()\fR allow for a library context \fIctx\fR and property query
\&\fIpropq\fR to be used to select algorithm implementations.

\&\fBPKCS8_encrypt()\fR, \fBPKCS8_encrypt_ex()\fR, \fBPKCS8_set0_pbe()\fR and \fBPKCS8_set0_pbe_ex()\fR
return an encrypted key in a \fBX509_SIG\fR structure or NULL if an error occurs.
.PP
\&\fBPKCS8_decrypt()\fR and \fBPKCS8_decrypt_ex()\fR return a \fBPKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFO\fR or NULL
if an error occurs.
