I don't know whether the Mosquitto utilities support
passphrase-protected key files (and I can't test this for you just now).
You may wish to try with a password-less key file first.

To remove the passphrase, use something like this:

        openssl rsa -in android.key -out android.nopass

Then, for mosquitto_sub, use android.nopass as a file in the --key
option.

Hope that helps a bit.
