Better documentation on how to use / convert OpenSSL generated EC keys with ring

[juliankrieger]

I'm using ring in an environment where private ( openssl generated ) keys are received from parts of our infrastructure. This I can not change.

I found #370 for conversion / stripping of openssl generated RSA keys to make them compatible with ring. I have tried and failed to convert an openssl generated ECDSA key to work with ring, but I keep failing. I've tried using https://lapo.it/asn1js to read out the offset until the SEQUENCE part starts and stripping my key DER that way, but no luck.

I've added a test file to this issue.

Is there any possibility of adding information regarding openssl compatibility into ring?

@briansmith I've still not had any luck. Any inputs?

As far as I can see, the entire discussion of #370 / #476 / #384 was never resolved? Is there a feature now for this?
