**Question:** Does TrustCore SDK provide any utilities for converting keys and certificates from one format to another?

**Answer:** Yes, the following functions provide conversion utilities:

- `CA_MGMT_convertKeyDER`: Converts DER file key information to TrustCore SDK NanoCert key BLOB.
- `CA_MGMT_convertKeyPEM`: Converts PEM file key information to a TrustCore SDK key BLOB. This function cannot be used to convert OpenSSL keys.
- `CA_MGMT_decodeCertificate`: Converts PEM-encoded certificate to DER-encoded certificate.
- `CA_MGMT_keyBlobToDER`: Converts NanoCert key BLOB to DER key.

For more information about conversion utilities, refer to the NanoCert product guide and the NanoSSL API reference.
