CertKit

A high-level Rust library providing abstractions over certificates and keys. This toolkit simplifies the process of creating certificates, intermediate Certificate Authorities (CAs), and root CAs.

Features

• Create and manage X.509 certificates
• Generate and handle root Certificate Authorities (CAs)
• Create intermediate CAs for certificate hierarchies
• Support for multiple key types:
  • RSA
  • ECDSA (P-256)
  • Ed25519
• PEM and DER format support
• Modern Rust implementation with strong type safety
• Zero-copy parsing and serialization with der crate

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
certkit = "0.1.0"

Dependencies

• x509-cert: X.509 certificate handling
• der: ASN.1 DER encoding/decoding
• pkcs8: Private key cryptography standard
• rsa, p256, ed25519-dalek: Cryptographic algorithms
• time: Time handling for certificate validity
• pem: PEM format encoding/decoding
