x509-certificate

x509-certificate is a library crate for interfacing with X.509 certificates. It supports the following:

• Parsing certificates from BER, DER, and PEM.
• Serializing certificates to BER, DER, and PEM.
• Defining common algorithm identifiers.
• Generating new certificates.
• Verifying signatures on certificates.
• And more.

This crate has not undergone a security audit. It does not employ many protections for malformed data when parsing certificates. Use at your own risk. See additional notes in src/lib.rs.

Developing

The root of the repository is a Cargo workspace and has a lot of members. The dependency tree for the entire repo is massive and cargo build likely will fail due to Python dependency weirdness.

For best results, cd x509-certificate and run commands there. Or cargo build -p x509-certificate, cargo test -p x509-certificate, etc.
