ser_der

Newtypes for the der crate to allow for serde de-/serialization.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ser_der = { version = "0", features = ["alloc"] } # Features should match the ones of the der crate
der = { version = "0", features = ["alloc"] } 
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }

You can then use the newtypes offered by this crate to de-/serialize DER-encoded data structures using serde.

#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
struct MyStruct {
    #[serde(with = "ser_der::asn1::ia5_string")]
    bits: ser_der::asn1::IA5String,
}

All newtypes implement Deref, DerefMut, From<[Newtype]> for [Type] and From<[Type]> for [Newtype] to the underlying der type.

Types covered

• IA5String
• DateTime
• Document
• Length
• Any
• BitString
• GeneralizedTime
• Header
• Int
• Length
• Null
• ObjectIdentifier
• OctetString
• PrintableString
• SequenceOf
• SetOf
• Tag
• TeletexString
• Uint
• UtcTime

Upstreaming to der

This crate is a temporary solution until the der crate supports serde de-/serialization. The plan is to upstream the serde support to the der crate.
