# package pkcs12

[![Documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12)](https://pkg.go.dev/software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12)

    import "software.sslmate.com/src/go-pkcs12" 

Package pkcs12 implements some of PKCS#12 (also known as P12 or PFX).

It is intended for decoding DER-encoded P12/PFX files for use with the `crypto/tls`

package, and for encoding P12/PFX files for use by legacy applications which

do not support newer formats.  Since PKCS#12 uses weak encryption

primitives, it SHOULD NOT be used for new applications.

Note that only DER-encoded PKCS#12 files are supported, even though PKCS#12

allows BER encoding.  This is because encoding/asn1 only supports DER.

This package is forked from `golang.org/x/crypto/pkcs12`, which is frozen.

The implementation is distilled from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7292

and referenced documents.
