  • Version: 11.6.0
  • Platform: Ubuntu, Windows
  • Subsystem: crypto

Passing an empty string to any function that parses a private key causes an assertion failure:

> crypto.createPrivateKey({ key: '' })
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe - node[12104]: src\node_crypto.cc:2675: Assertion `(mem) != nullptr' failed.

@tniessen are you looking into this or should I give it a swing?
