Package Exports

@peculiar/x509

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@peculiar/x509) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About

@peculiar/x509 is an easy to use TypeScript/Javascript library based on @peculiar/asn1-schema that makes generating X.509 Certificates and Certificate Requests as well as validating certificate chains easy.

Installation

npm install @peculiar/x509

Usage

Set crypto provider for Node.js

In some cases you may want to use a different cryptographic implementation, for example when you want to work with an object that supports a cryptographic algorithm not supported by the platform you are on.

In these cases you can set a custom provider, these providers need to be compatible with the WebCrypto API, for example on NodeJS you can use @peculiar/webcrypto to allow @peculiar/x509 to work the same as it does in browser!

import * as x509 from "@peculiar/x509";
import { Crypto } from "@peculiar/webcrypto";

const crypto = new Crypto();
x509.cryptoProvider.set(crypto);

Create a self-signed certificate

import * as x509 from "@peculiar/x509";

const alg = {
  name: "RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5",
  hash: "SHA-256",
  publicExponent: new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1]),
  modulusLength: 2048,
};
const keys = await crypto.subtle.generateKey(alg, false, ["sign", "verify"]);
const cert = await x509.X509CertificateGenerator.createSelfSigned({
  serialNumber: "01",
  name: "CN=Test",
  notBefore: new Date("2020/01/01"),
  notAfter: new Date("2020/01/02"),
  signingAlgorithm: alg,
  keys,
  extensions: [
    new x509.BasicConstraintsExtension(true, 2, true),
    new x509.ExtendedKeyUsageExtension(["1.2.3.4.5.6.7", "2.3.4.5.6.7.8"], true),
    new x509.KeyUsagesExtension(x509.KeyUsageFlags.keyCertSign | x509.KeyUsageFlags.cRLSign, true),
    await x509.SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension.create(keys.publicKey),
  ]
});

Parse a x509 certificate

import * as x509 from "@peculiar/x509";

const base64 = "MIIDljCCAn6gAwIBAgIOSETcxtRwD...S+kAFXIwugUGYEnTWp0m5bAn5NlD314IEOg4mnS8Q==";
const raw = Buffer.from(base64, "base64");

const cert = new x509.X509Certificate(raw);
console.log(cert.subject); // CN=Test, O=PeculiarVentures LLC

Create a PKCS#10 certificate request

import * as x509 from "@peculiar/x509";

const alg = {
  name: "ECDSA",
  namedCurve: "P-384",
  hash: "SHA-384",
}
const keys = await crypto.subtle.generateKey(alg, false, ["sign", "verify"]);
const csr = await x509.Pkcs10CertificateRequestGenerator.create({
  name: "CN=Test",
  keys,
  signingAlgorithm: alg,
  extensions: [
    new x509.KeyUsagesExtension(x509.KeyUsageFlags.digitalSignature | x509.KeyUsageFlags.keyEncipherment),
  ],
  attributes: [
    new x509.ChallengePasswordAttribute("password"),
  ]
});

Build a certificate chain

import * as x509 from "@peculiar/x509";

const chain = new x509.X509ChainBuilder({
  certificates: [
    new x509.X509Certificate(raw1),

const cert = x509.X509Certificate(raw);
const items = await chain.build(cert);
console.log(items); // [ X509Certificate, X509Certificate, X509Certificate ]

Export a list of X509 certificates to PKCS#7 format

import * as x509 from "@peculiar/x509";

const certs = new x509.X509Certificates([
