Feature suggestion: encoding to PEM #8

Closed KenV1040 closed 4 years ago

KenV1040 commented 4 years ago

After having read the documentation, I don't think you have a method to encode public and private key to PEM and storing it as a string. Is it possible to add this? I'd like to use this feature so I can store it in FlutterSecureStorage since it only accepts strings.

I'll try to figure out a way to do this. Right now, I think JSON string encoding/decoding might be the easiest way to do this, but I'll take a look at PEM, since PEM is more standardized.

Alright, thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out!

Right, so I can definitely make PEM encoding work. I'm unit testing now, but PEM encoding will be in the main lib within the next few hours.

The update (which is not on github yet, I have some versioning stuff to work out) is now on pub. To convert a key to a PEM string, use 

RsaCrypt().encodeKeyToString(RsaAsymmetricKey KeyHere)

To get a key back from a PEM string, use 

RsaCrypt().parseKeyFromString(String PemStringHere)
