I try with the crypto nodejs module. But I don't succeed to make it works.
import * as crypto from 'crypto';
import { RsaPrivateKey } from 'crypto';
const privateKey = crypto.privateDecrypt(rsaPrivateKey, Buffer.from('')).toString();
I got a passphrase. I need to do this so I can import my certificate inside AWS. Someone have an idea?
I know that we can do it in golang with
if x509.IsEncryptedPEMBlock(block) {
der, wrongPass := x509.DecryptPEMBlock(block, []byte(o.passphrase))
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-256-CBC,XXXXXXXXX
Decryption is easily possible with the crypto module of NodeJS using the two functions crypto.createPrivateKey() for importing the encrypted key and keyObject.export() for exporting the unencrypted key:
crypto = require('crypto');
encryptedPkcs1 = `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-256-CBC,B2FBBDCE627586CB04423335D9D4EC59

encryptedKey = crypto.createPrivateKey({
key: encryptedPkcs1,
passphrase: 'myPassword'})
decryptedKey = encryptedKey.export({
format: 'pem',
type: 'pkcs1',})
Note that in practice nowadays the key should not be smaller than 2048 bits for security reasons. The 512 bit key here is only used for testing.
The output is:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
