Creating a password-protected p12 file #4

Closed eyeinsky closed 3 years ago

Hi! I was skimming on how to save a password-protected P12 file and have the following question: the writeP12FileToMemory takes a password as one of its arguments, and so does encrypted -- do the passwords need to be the same (because the container is decrypted and then re-encrypted on creating the byte string), or will the container have two passwords is the end (and I should skip one of these to get just one)?

Usually passwords given to both functions will be the same. Not all software can handle integrity password and encryption password to be different.

Thank you for clearing that up!
