Document use with the PKCS#8

Open XVilka opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Currently, only rsa crate has high-level functions documented that allow to load form PEM, DER, etc formats. But I found nothing of the kind in the elliptic_curve's documentation.

It would be nice to have methods descrubed similarly to those of rsa:

  • https://docs.rs/rsa/latest/rsa/#pkcs1-rsa-key-encoding
  • https://docs.rs/rsa/latest/rsa/#pkcs8-rsa-key-encoding

There are only basic paragraphs in https://docs.rs/elliptic-curve/latest/elliptic_curve/struct.PublicKey.html#parsing-spki-keys and https://docs.rs/elliptic-curve/latest/elliptic_curve/struct.SecretKey.html#parsing-pkcs8-keys. I myself already figured what to do, but for the newbies it would be nice to have a clearer documentation.
