Algorithm and Padding from PKCS 12 File

843811Nov 23 2005 — edited Dec 6 2005

Is it possible to extract the asymmetric key algorithm (e.g. RSA) and padding scheme from a PKCS 12 file? Is this information even stored in the PKCS 12 format? I haven't been able to find any descriptions of the format that aren't way to in-depth or way too terse.

Note that I don't mean signature algorithm. I mean the algorithm (and padding scheme) that would be used along with the public and private keys stored in the file.

Thanks,
Dave
