rustls/pemfile

rustls-pemfile

This is a basic parser for PEM-encodings commonly used for storing keys and certificates at rest.

It doesn't support reading encrypted keys: the cryptography standardised for this is typically very poor and doing so doesn't address a meaningful threat model.

Build Status Crate Documentation

See also: rustls-pki-types

The main function of this crate has been incorporated into rustls-pki-types. 2.2.0 maintains the existing public API for this crate, on top of this new implementation. This drops the dependency on the base64 crate, and allows for constant-time decoding of private keys.

This crate will continue to exist in its current form, but it is somewhat unlikely that the API will be extended from its current state.

Should you wish to migrate to using the new rustls-pki-types PEM APIs directly, here is a rough cheat-sheet:

Use case Replace
File stream to CertificateDer iterator rustls_pemfile::certs(io::BufRead)
➡️
CertificateDer::pem_reader_iter(io::Read)
File stream to one PrivateKeyDer rustls_pemfile::private_key(io::BufRead)
➡️
PrivateKeyDer::from_pem_reader(io::Read)
File stream to one CertificateSigningRequestDer rustls_pemfile::csr(io::BufRead)
➡️
CertificateSigningRequestDer::from_pem_reader(io::Read)
File stream to CertificateRevocationListDer iterator rustls_pemfile::crls(io::BufRead)
➡️
CertificateRevocationListDer::pem_reader_iter(io::Read)
File stream to PrivatePkcs1KeyDer iterator rustls_pemfile::rsa_private_keys(io::BufRead)
➡️
PrivatePkcs1KeyDer::pem_reader_iter(io::Read)
File stream to PrivatePkcs8KeyDer iterator rustls_pemfile::pkcs8_private_keys(io::BufRead)
➡️
PrivatePkcs8KeyDer::pem_reader_iter(io::Read)
File stream to PrivateSec1KeyDer iterator rustls_pemfile::ec_private_keys(io::BufRead)
➡️
PrivateSec1KeyDer::pem_reader_iter(io::Read)
File stream to SubjectPublicKeyInfoDer iterator rustls_pemfile::public_keys(io::BufRead)
➡️
SubjectPublicKeyInfoDer::pem_reader_iter(io::Read)
