Functions

func MarshalECPrivateKey

func MarshalECPrivateKey(key *ecdsa.PrivateKey) ([]byte, error)

MarshalECPrivateKey converts an EC private key to SEC 1, ASN.1 DER form.

This kind of key is commonly encoded in PEM blocks of type "EC PRIVATE KEY". For a more flexible key format which is not EC specific, use MarshalPKCS8PrivateKey.

func MarshalPKIXPublicKey

func MarshalPKIXPublicKey(pub interface{}) ([]byte, error)

MarshalPKIXPublicKey converts a public key to PKIX, ASN.1 DER form. The encoded public key is a SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure (see RFC 5280, Section 4.1).

The following key types are currently supported: *rsa.PublicKey, *ecdsa.PublicKey and ed25519.PublicKey. Unsupported key types result in an error.

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

func ParseECPrivateKey

func ParseECPrivateKey(der []byte) (*ecdsa.PrivateKey, error)

ParseECPrivateKey parses an EC private key in SEC 1, ASN.1 DER form.

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

func ParsePKIXPublicKey

func ParsePKIXPublicKey(derBytes []byte) (pub interface{}, 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).

Unlike the x509 it does not return a *rsa.PublicKey, *dsa.PublicKey, or ed25519.PublicKey, but only *ecdsa.PublicKey.

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