How to load an RSA private key from a file?

843811May 24 2007 — edited Oct 29 2009

Hi,
I'm a newbie in regards to the Security APIs and I have need to have an instance of 'PrivateKey' passed off to an library I'm working with (GData to be specific).

My public key was generated with OpenSSL and is a 1024-bit RSA key encoded in an X.509 certificate in PEM format. I also have my private key in a separate file and I would like to load the private key from that file and have it converted into correct instance of 'PrivateKey'. Can some one point in a general direction on how I would accomplish this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin
