5.5.17. Class PrivateKey

The PrivateKey class stores a private key and optionally a passphrase for the private key. The private key must be in PEM format.

When configuring Zorp manually using its configuration file, use the regular constructor of the PrivateKey class to load a private key from a string. To load a private key from a file, use the PrivateKey.fromFile method.
