PEM-to-JWK

• PKCS#1 (traditional)
• PKCS#8, SPKI/PKIX
• 2048-bit, 4096-bit (and ostensibily all others)
• SSH (RFC4716), (RFC 4716/SSH2)

Advanced Options

public: 'true':

If a private key is used as input, a private key will be output.

If you'd like to output a public key instead you can pass public: true.

Testing

You can compare these keys to the ones that you get from OpenSSL, ssh-keygen, and WebCrypto:

# Generate 2048-bit RSA Keypair
openssl genrsa -out privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem 2048

# Convert PKCS1 (traditional) RSA Keypair to PKCS8 format
openssl rsa -in privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem -pubout -out pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem

# Export Public-only RSA Key in PKCS1 (traditional) format
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -nocrypt -in privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem -out privkey-rsa-2048.pkcs8.pem

# Convert PKCS1 (traditional) RSA Public Key to SPKI/PKIX format
openssl rsa -in pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem -pubin -RSAPublicKey_out -out pub-rsa-2048.pkcs1.pem

# Convert RSA public key to SSH format
ssh-keygen -f ./pub-rsa-2048.spki.pem -i -mPKCS8 > ./pub-rsa-2048.ssh.pub

Goals of this project

• Zero Dependencies
• Focused support for 2048-bit and 4096-bit RSA keypairs (although any size is technically supported)
• Convert both ways
• Browser support as well (TODO)
• OpenSSL, ssh-keygen, and WebCrypto compatibility
