Review comment:
       If the base64 encoded key is found but is invalid it will throw an `IllegalArgumentException` which would make it up to the KeyManagerFactory.
   
   Is it worth helping the user out with a nicer message that the base64 encoding was bad vs the contents of the certificate?  If so, probably worth adding a test case to make sure you hit it.

Review comment:
       Although the array is final, the contents can be changed.  
   ```
       @Test
       public void tamperWithPRivateKeyAlgorithms()
       {
           String[] original = PEMReader.SUPPORTED_PRIVATE_KEY_ALGORITHMS.clone();
           for (int i = 0; i < PEMReader.SUPPORTED_PRIVATE_KEY_ALGORITHMS.length; i++)
           {
               PEMReader.SUPPORTED_PRIVATE_KEY_ALGORITHMS[i] = "TAMPERED";
           }
   
           Assert.assertArrayEquals(original, PEMReader.SUPPORTED_PRIVATE_KEY_ALGORITHMS); // Fail
       }
   ```
   
   An attacker with the ability to run arbitrary code in theJVM could prevent certificate loading by emptying this array or restricting to vulnerable ones.  Seems like they could also do all kinds of other bad things too, but just in case would you mind replacing this with an ImmutableList instead? e.g. using `ImmutableList.of(...)`

Review comment:
       Ugly exception here if the password is incorrect
   ```javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded. Such issues can arise if a bad key is used during decryption.

   It does suggest the bad key which would give the user a hint that it's the password that is the issue.

+/**
+ * SslContextFactory for the <a href="">PEM standard</a> encoded PKCS#8 private keys and X509 certificates/public-keys.
+ * It parses the key material based on the standard defined in the <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7468">RFC 7468</a>.
+ * It creates <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5208">PKCS# 8</a> based private key and X509 certificate(s)
+ * for the public key to build the required keystore and the truststore managers that are used for the SSL context creation.
+ * Internally it builds Java {@link KeyStore} with <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7292">PKCS# 12</a> <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/specs/security/standard-names.html#keystore-types">store type</a>
+ * to be used for keystore and the truststore managers.
+ * <p>
+ * This factory also supports 'hot reloading' of the key material, the same way as defined by {@link FileBasedSslContextFactory},
+ * <b>if it is file based</b>. This factory ignores the existing 'store_type' configuration used for other file based store
+ * types like JKS.
+ * <p>
+ * You can configure this factory with either inline PEM data or with the files having the required PEM data as shown
+ * below,

Review comment:
       Could an attacker with access to the filesystem write a file named after the contents of `keystore` and substitute with an alternate certificate without the operator knowing? It would be a horrible filename, but maybe possible based on the allowed regex
   
   `-+BEGIN\\s+.*CERTIFICATE[^-]*-+(?:\\s|\\r|\\n)+([a-z0-9+/=\\r\\n]+)-+END\\s+.*CERTIFICATE[^-]*-+`
   
   Spaces are allowed between the BEGIN/END certificates instead of CR/LF so you could be very unlucky and have a base64 encoded cert without a / to prevent an illegal filename.
