[openssl-dev] internationalized passwords for pkcs#8, pkcs#12 files

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hi,
 I would like to eliminate the ambiguities concerning internationalized
passwords in PKCS#8 and PKCS#12 files. I plan to propose an update to
the PKCS#5, PKCS#12 documents mandating UTF-8 and 
requiring the RFC7613 OpaqueString profile. I'm interested on openssl
developers opinion on the topic.

regards,
Nikos
