Thanks for those comments Sean.

I did consider that originally; it's worth doing.

Done.

Done.

I cannot determine whether the encoded key is a SecretKey or a PrivateKey so
only PrivateKey is supported.

I've added code to check the security property

Corrected.

Right. This code had not been updated to use PKCS12Attribute.


> [2216 -] It seems it would be better to create the PKCS12Attributes with the byte[] ctor, as that retains the full encoding information, and you could return arbitrary attributes we don't recognize. Also, the String ctor will cause it to be re-encoded again, when we already have the encoding.

Same as above.
