@signature-kit/asn1

Pure ASN.1 DER decode/encode primitives and typed accessors used by SignatureKit crypto, CMS, and certificate packages.

Install

bun add @signature-kit/asn1 effect

effect is a direct runtime dependency. This is a low-level support package; prefer higher-level SignatureKit packages unless you need raw ASN.1.

Public surface

• @signature-kit/asn1 — Asn1ClassSchema, Asn1PrimitiveSchema, Asn1NodeSchema, Asn1ConstructedSchema, Asn1ErrorCodeSchema, asn1ErrorMessages, Asn1Error, decode, encode, childrenOf, bytesOf, oidString, and integerBigInt.

decode(bytes) reads the first complete DER TLV. encode(node) is total for nodes produced by decode. Typed accessors fail with Asn1Error when the requested shape does not match the node.

Example

import { childrenOf, decode, encode } from "@signature-kit/asn1";
import { Effect } from "effect";

declare const der: Uint8Array;

const program = Effect.gen(function* () {
  const root = yield* decode(der);
  const children = yield* childrenOf(root);

  return {
    childCount: children.length,
    canonicalDer: encode(root),
  };
});

Errors and i18n

ASN.1 failures use the Asn1Error code catalog and asn1ErrorMessages. Applications can render localized copy through @signature-kit/i18n by passing that catalog to errorMessage.
