Detailed Description

A utility class for encoding and decoding data in Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) format.

The PemCodec class provides static methods to convert between binary data and PEM format, which is commonly used for cryptographic keys, certificates, and other security-related data. The PEM format uses base64 encoding with header and footer lines.

Member Function Documentation

◆ decode()

static std::vector<uint8_t> pcpp::PemCodec::decode	(	const std::string &	pemData,
		const std::string &	expectedLabel = `""`
	)

static

Decodes PEM-encoded data back to its binary form

Parameters

[in]	pemData	The PEM-encoded string to decode
[in]	expectedLabel	Optional expected label that should be in the PEM header/footer. If provided and doesn't match, an exception will be thrown

Returns: A vector containing the decoded binary data

Exceptions

std::invalid_argument if the input is not valid PEM format, if the label doesn't match or if base64 decoding fails

◆ encode()

static std::string pcpp::PemCodec::encode	(	const std::vector< uint8_t > &	data,
		const std::string &	label
	)
