Overview ¶

Package pkcs12 writes PKCS#12 files (RFC 7292) for the key export (PHASE1 step 18): the private key in a PBES2-encrypted bag (PBKDF2 with HMAC-SHA256, AES-256-CBC), the certificates in a plain bag, and an HMAC-SHA256 integrity MAC – what OpenSSL 3 writes by default and what Windows 10 (1709+), macOS, Java and OpenSSL import. Only encoding: the server never reads PKCS#12 files.

const (
	KeyIterations = 600_000
	MACIterations = 2048 // the PKCS#12 KDF runs SHA-256 this often; OpenSSL's default
	MinPassword   = 12
)

Iterations of PBKDF2 for the key and of the PKCS#12 KDF for the MAC. OWASP 2023 recommends 600,000 for PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256.

Functions ¶

func Encode ¶

func Encode(rnd io.Reader, pkcs8 []byte, chain []*x509.Certificate, name, password string) ([]byte, error)

Encode builds a PKCS#12 file with the PKCS#8 key, its certificate first, then the chain (intermediates). name is the friendly name importers show. rnd nil means crypto/rand.
