func ParsePKIXPublicKey

func ParsePKIXPublicKey(derBytes []byte) (pub crypto.PublicKey, err error)

ParsePKIXPublicKey parses a public key in PKIX, ASN.1 DER form. The encoded public key is a SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure (see RFC 5280, Section 4.1).

It returns a *rsa.PublicKey, *dsa.PublicKey, *ecdsa.PublicKey, or ed25519.PublicKey. More types might be supported in the future.

This kind of key is commonly encoded in PEM blocks of type "PUBLIC KEY".
