The same request was made on bugzilla, have a look at bug 3444
(https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3444).
Short summary: there are ideas to save the master secret of each SSL
session so that these master keys can be provided together with the pcap
file. These keys will then be used to decrypt the sessions in the pcap
file at the receivers end without the need of the private key. Please
note that each SSL session is creating its own master secret, so these
master secrets will not be making it possible to decrypt other sessions.
Until this functionality has been developed, the best way is to supply
both the pcap file with unencrypted data in it and the export to text
with the decrypted output in it.
