Import private/public key from a file rather than generating one #496

Open MaxOrelus opened 7 years ago

MaxOrelus commented 7 years ago

I'm generating my keys using the following method

openssl genrsa -out rsa_1024_priv.pem 1024
openssl rsa -pubout -in rsa_1024_priv.pem -out rsa_1024_pub.pem

I'm trying to figure out how I can import my already generated key into forge and use them for encryption/decryption. I am able to read from the file and hold the key in a variable.
