JWT signing with private key & passphrase throws error

Node.js v12.20.0 で例を再現し、その後、スタックトレースに示されている jsonwebtoken/sign.js、jwa/index.js、jws/lib/sign-stream.js を通じて署名処理の経路を追跡します。パスフレーズで保護された PEM 秘密鍵で key.key 型エラーなしに PS512 トークンへ署名でき、このケースのリグレッションテストが用意されれば、修正は完了です。

Description

Signing jwt token with private key & passphrase results in error. Generated private key as below

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -m PEM -f PS512.key and add passphrase

Reproduction

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const privateKey = `<copy & paste the generated private key here>`;

const token = jwt.sign(
    { test: 12 }, 
    { key: privateKey , passphrase: '...' }, {
    algorithm: 'PS512'
});

console.log(token);
