* Package name : golang-github-youmark-pkcs8 Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Yutong Wang (youmark) * URL : https://github.com/youmark/pkcs8 * License : MIT Programming Lang: Go Description : Go package to parse and convert private keys in PKCS#8 format, as defined in RFC5208 and RFC5958 OpenSSL can generate private keys in both "traditional format" and PKCS#8 format. Newer applications are advised to use more secure PKCS#8 format. Go standard crypto package provides a function to parse private key in PKCS#8 format. There is a limitation to this function. It can only handle unencrypted PKCS#8 private keys. To use this function, the user has to save the private key in file without encryption, which is a bad practice to leave private keys unprotected on file systems. In addition, Go standard package lacks the functions to convert RSA/ECDSA private keys into PKCS#8 format. pkcs8 package fills the gap here. It implements functions to process private keys in PKCS#8 format, as defined in RFC5208 and RFC5958. It can handle both unencrypted PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo format and EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo format with PKCS#5 (v2.0) algorithms. This package is required by rclone 1.50.2. It will be maintained under the Debian Go Team.
