Whoops, I should correct myself now (since you didn't ;-)
The format you originally refer to in your post:
--- BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY
is NOT pkcs#8 format (as you would see from that pemformats.txt link) but is
in OpenSSL's "Traditional SSLeay RSAPrivateKey format".
You can use Openssl to convert that format *to PKCS#8 format which is THEN suitable for
the PvkConvert utility I refer to below.
See this recent thread for a similar issue:

Sorry for "mal-information" :)

Pardon me for my ignorance as I have never worked in Java
After going through ur code http://www.jensign.com/JavaScience/PvkConvert
private static byte[ ] privatekeyinfoToPrivatekeyblob(byte[ ] encodedPrivkey, int keyspec)
this class returned value will give me the PRIVATEKEYBLOB.
but u have mentioned in http://www.jensign.com/JavaScience/PEM/pemformats.txt that PvkConvert.java
is a simply utility Java class which reads a PKCS#8 encoded PrivateKeyInfo file whereas my private
keys is in PKCS#8 unencrypted private key format. Will it work in my case
secondly I stored the server.key (the File name in which my Private key is present) and PvkConvert.Java
in the location C:\jdk1.2.4\bin
Now i am executing the following command,
C:\jdk1.2.4\bin\javac PvkConvert.java
C:\jdk1.2.4\bin\java PvkConvert server.key
I output shown on my screen is :-
keyspec 1
java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: Unknown key spec.
KeySize: 0 bits
java.lang.NullPointerException
Pls tell what is wrong in above process.
Thanking you.
