Function Name:
PEM_cert_to_DER_cert
Function Signature:
PEM_cert_to_DER_cert(PEM_cert_string)
Parameters:
PEM_cert_string – The certificate in PEM format.
Return Value:
The digital certificate in binary DER format.
Overview:
- DER is a binary format in which the fields and the data of a X.509 digital certificate are encoded.
- PEM format which stands for Privacy Enhanced Email, provides a text format in which the binary DER data is encoded using a base64 scheme with the ASCII characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, / and = .
- The method PEM_cert_to_DER_cert()converts a digital certificate from the binary DER format to PEM format.
Example:
# Example Python program that retrieves a digital certificate of a host # in PEM format and converts it into DEM format import ssl
# Get the digital certificate of a host cert_PEM = ssl.get_server_certificate(("example.net", 443)); print("Digital certificate in PEM format:"); print(cert_PEM);
# Convert the certificate from PEM to DER format cert_DER = ssl.PEM_cert_to_DER_cert(cert_PEM); print("Digital certificate in DER format:"); print(cert_DER); |
