L<ossl_store(7)> acts as a general interface to access all kinds of objects,

potentially protected with a pass phrase, a PIN or something else.
|

This API currently doesn't stipulate any specific encoding of pass phrases, but
|

uses the underlying routines with their behaviours.
|

This means that when using the built-in C<file:> scheme loader, the pass phrase
|

to unlock a PKCS#12 file will be treated as described for PKCS#12 above, and
|

the pass phrase for a PEM files will be treated as the general case described

above, since that loader uses the same underlying routines.

This API stipulates that pass phrases should be UTF-8 encoded, and that any

other pass phrase encoding may give undefined results.

This API relies on the application to ensure UTF-8 encoding, and doesn't check

that this is the case, so what it gets, it will also pass to the underlying

loader.
