There are several common schemes for serializing asymmetric private and public
keys to bytes. They generally support encryption of private keys and additional
key metadata.
Many serialization formats support multiple different types of asymmetric keys
and will return an instance of the appropriate type. You should check that
the returned key matches the type your application expects when using these
methods.

Key dumping
~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``serialization`` module contains functions for loading keys from
``bytes``. To dump a ``key`` object to ``bytes``, you must call the appropriate
method on the key object. Documentation for these methods in found in the
:mod:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa`,
:mod:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa`, and
:mod:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec` module documentation.
PEM
~~~
PEM is an encapsulation format, meaning keys in it can actually be any of
several different key types. However these are all self-identifying, so you
don't need to worry about this detail. PEM keys are recognizable because they
all begin with ``-----BEGIN {format}-----`` and end with ``-----END
{format}-----``.
.. note::
A PEM block which starts with ``-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----`` is not a
public or private key, it's an :doc:`X.509 Certificate </x509/index>`. You
can load it using :func:`~cryptography.x509.load_pem_x509_certificate` and
extract the public key with
:meth:`Certificate.public_key <cryptography.x509.Certificate.public_key>`.
.. function:: load_pem_private_key(data, password, backend)
.. versionadded:: 0.6
Deserialize a private key from PEM encoded data to one of the supported
asymmetric private key types.
:param data: The PEM encoded key data.

encrypted with a symmetric cipher that is not supported by the backend.
.. function:: load_pem_public_key(data, backend)

DER
~~~

OpenSSH Public Key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The format used by OpenSSH to store public keys, as specified in :rfc:`4253`.
An example RSA key in OpenSSH format (line breaks added for formatting
purposes)::
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDDu/XRP1kyK6Cgt36gts9XAk
FiiuJLW6RU0j3KKVZSs1I7Z3UmU9/9aVh/rZV43WQG8jaR6kkcP4stOR0DEtll

///ImSCGHQRvhwariN2tvZ6CBNSLh3iQgeB0AkyJlng7MXB2qYq/Ci2FUOryCX
2MzHvnbv testkey@localhost
DSA keys look almost identical but begin with ``ssh-dss`` rather than
``ssh-rsa``. ECDSA keys have a slightly different format, they begin with
``ecdsa-sha2-{curve}``.
.. function:: load_ssh_public_key(data, backend)
.. versionadded:: 0.7
Deserialize a public key from OpenSSH (:rfc:`4253`) encoded data to an
instance of the public key type for the specified backend.
.. note::
Currently Ed25519 keys are not supported.
:param bytes data: The OpenSSH encoded key data.
:param backend: A backend which implements
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.RSABackend`,
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.DSABackend`, or
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.backends.interfaces.EllipticCurveBackend`
depending on the key's type.
:returns: One of
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.RSAPublicKey`,
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.dsa.DSAPublicKey`,
or
:class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePublicKey`
depending on the contents of ``data``.
:raises ValueError: If the OpenSSH data could not be properly decoded or
if the key is not in the proper format.
:raises cryptography.exceptions.UnsupportedAlgorithm: If the serialized
key is of a type that is not supported.
PKCS12
~~~~~~
.. currentmodule:: cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs12
PKCS12 is a binary format described in :rfc:`7292`. It can contain
certificates, keys, and more. PKCS12 files commonly have a ``pfx`` or ``p12``
file suffix.
.. note::
``cryptography`` only supports a single private key and associated
certificates when parsing PKCS12 files at this time.
.. function:: load_key_and_certificates(data, password, backend)
.. versionadded:: 2.5
Deserialize a PKCS12 blob.
:param data: The binary data.
:type data: :term:`bytes-like`
:param password: The password to use to decrypt the data. ``None``
if the PKCS12 is not encrypted.
:type password: :term:`bytes-like`
:param backend: A backend instance.
:returns: A tuple of
``(private_key, certificate, additional_certificates)``.
``private_key`` is a private key type or ``None``, ``certificate``
is either the :class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` whose public key
matches the private key in the PKCS 12 object or ``None``, and
``additional_certificates`` is a list of all other
:class:`~cryptography.x509.Certificate` instances in the PKCS12 object.
