Daiki Ueno created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1474



The `PrivateKeyInfo` structure defined in PKCS#8 (RFC 5208) has been further updated to the `OneAsymmetricKey` structure in [RFC 5958](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5958), with a dedicated `publicKey` field designated with the `version` field set to `v2(1)`.

GnuTLS currently only supports the old structure for reading and writing private keys and derives public key from the `privateKey` value. When reading, it could first try v2 and then fall back to v1; when writing there could be a new API to specify the version.
