# `keys/parse-pkcs8` ## Purpose Parses a PKCS#8 `PrivateKeyInfo` per RFC 5208 §5 — also accepts the RFC 5958 `OneAsymmetricKey` shape, which adds optional `[0] attributes` and `[1] publicKey` trailing fields. The inner `privateKey OCTET STRING` carries a PKCS#1 `RSAPrivateKey` which is delegated to the PKCS#1 parser. PKCS#8 is the canonical wire format for any private key persisted to disk (OpenSSL `PRIVATE KEY` PEM, PKCS#12 / PFX `EncryptedData` payloads after decryption, JWE `kty: RSA` private-form decryption keys). ## Features - DER outer SEQUENCE → version → AlgorithmIdentifier → OCTET STRING walk. - Algorithm OID equality against `OID_RSA_ENCRYPTION`. - RFC 5958 `[0] attributes` and `[1] publicKey` tolerant — both consumed and discarded. - Delegates to `parseRsaPrivateKeyPkcs1` for the inner RSAPrivateKey body. ## Usage: Basic Example ```ts import { parseRsaPrivateKeyPkcs8 } from "@suaveplan/crypto-rsa"; const key = parseRsaPrivateKeyPkcs8(pkcs8DerBytes); ``` ## Usage: Advanced Example ```ts import { parseRsaPrivateKeyPkcs8 } from "@suaveplan/crypto-rsa"; // RFC 5958 OneAsymmetricKey form with optional trailing publicKey [1]. const key = parseRsaPrivateKeyPkcs8(oneAsymmetricKeyBytes); ``` ## API Reference ### `parseRsaPrivateKeyPkcs8(bytes: Uint8Array): RsaPrivateKey` Throws `CryptoRsaError(CRYPTO_RSA.UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT)` for non-RSA OIDs. Throws `CryptoRsaError(CRYPTO_RSA.INVALID_KEY)` on structural problems (unsupported `version`, missing fields, trailing non-context-specific bytes). ## Implementation Notes PKCS#8 `version` is `0` for RFC 5208 and `1` for the RFC 5958 successor (the version bumps when `publicKey` is present). Both are accepted; the RFC 5958 trailing fields are walked through as opaque context-specific TLVs without attempting to parse them, because Stage 1 has no need for the public-key cross-check or the attribute set. Stage 4 may add a verification that the `[1] publicKey` matches the inner PKCS#1 `(n, e)`.
