pem-reader

A lightweight library to convert keys from PEM files into byte arrays.

Usage

Leiningen (via Clojars)

REPL

(require '[pem-reader.core :as pem])

(def pem (pem/read "test/keys/rsa-private-key.pem"))
;; => #object[pem_reader.core.PEM 0x32c56ed9 "pem_reader.core.PEM@32c56ed9"]

(pem/type pem)
;; => :rsa-private-key

(pem/as-bytes pem)
;; => #object["[B" 0x5698633e "[B@5698633e"]

(pem/private-key pem)
;; => #object[sun.security.rsa.RSAPrivateCrtKeyImpl 0x9a2de04 "sun.security.rsa.RSAPrivateCrtKeyImpl@4940"]

(pem/public-key pem)
;; => nil

Supported Formats

• PKCS#1 (RSA PRIVATE KEY)
• PKCS#8 (PRIVATE KEY)
• X509 Public Key (PUBLIC KEY)
• X509 Certificate (CERTIFICATE)

Rationale

I wanted to read PKCS#1 files and it wasn't easily possible using built-in Java classes.
