What is @fidm/asn1?

@fidm/asn1 is a Node.js library for encoding and decoding ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) data structures. ASN.1 is a standard interface description language for defining data structures that can be serialized and deserialized in a cross-platform way. This package is useful for working with various cryptographic standards and protocols that use ASN.1 encoding, such as X.509 certificates.

What are @fidm/asn1's main functionalities?

Encoding ASN.1 Data

This feature allows you to encode data into ASN.1 format. The code sample demonstrates how to create a BER (Basic Encoding Rules) writer, start a sequence, write an integer, and end the sequence.

const asn1 = require('@fidm/asn1');

const data = asn1.BerWriter();
data.startSequence();
data.writeInt(12345);
data.endSequence();
console.log(data.buffer);

Decoding ASN.1 Data

This feature allows you to decode ASN.1 encoded data. The code sample demonstrates how to create a BER reader, read a sequence, and extract an integer value from the encoded data.

const asn1 = require('@fidm/asn1');

const buffer = Buffer.from([0x30, 0x03, 0x02, 0x01, 0x01]);
const reader = new asn1.BerReader(buffer);
reader.readSequence();
const intValue = reader.readInt();
console.log(intValue);

Parsing X.509 Certificates

This feature allows you to parse X.509 certificates, which are commonly used in SSL/TLS. The code sample demonstrates how to read a certificate file and parse its ASN.1 structure.

const asn1 = require('@fidm/asn1');
const fs = require('fs');

const certBuffer = fs.readFileSync('path/to/certificate.crt');
const reader = new asn1.BerReader(certBuffer);
reader.readSequence();
const cert = reader.readSequence();
console.log(cert);
