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
dercrate
