formats
A collection of Rust crates for encoding and decoding cryptography-related formats like DER, PEM, PKCS, and PKIX.
What is formats?
RustCrypto/formats is a collection of Rust crates that implement encoders and decoders for various cryptography-related formats. It provides libraries for handling DER, PEM, PKCS, PKIX, X.509 certificates, and other standards, enabling developers to work with cryptographic data structures securely and efficiently.
Rust developers building cryptographic applications, security tools, or protocols that require parsing, generating, or manipulating standard cryptographic formats.
It offers a comprehensive, standards-compliant, and security-focused toolkit for cryptographic format handling in Rust, with an emphasis on constant-time operations and strict adherence to RFCs and specifications.
Overview
Cryptography-related format encoders/decoders: DER, PEM, PKCS, PKIX
