Include specs for private key? #25

I started writing the command line implementation and realized I needed to output the private key in some form.

Should the private key form be specified?

My general thoughts are: yes. An application can decide the most appropriate way to store a private key, but a general form should be defined, that way exporting/importing between applications is easier.

PEM? It's pretty standard. PKCS#8 lets you do encrypted or unencrypted.

Yeah, good call. :+1:
