Hi,

according to the doc, the function expects Password::string() as the second
argument:

http://www.erlang.org/documentation/doc-5.9.3/lib/public_key-0.17/doc/html/public_key.html#pem_entry_decode-2

The spec for the function expects a list of strings:

https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/801b09af301a872170e44c215e274425c46f8d24/lib/public_key/src/public_key.erl#L113

This makes dialyzer sad. Incidentallly, the code seems to work ok both if
you pass a string or a string wrapped into a list.
