Detailed Description

DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules), is a subset of the binary packaging format ASN.1 commonly applied to cryptography objects.

ASN.1: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6025 X.680 ASN.1 basic rules: https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.680/en (defines all universal types) DER specification detail X.690: https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.690-201508-I/en

Technical note for DER format: http://luca.ntop.org/Teaching/Appunti/asn1.html

This contains enough to parse X.509 certificates. X.509 certificates: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280 Information on algorithms used in certificates: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3279 PKCS exchange syntax: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7292

PEM format is base64 encoded DER format. Certificate encoding using DER and PEM format: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7468

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3447 contains info on rsa private key asn.1 syntax.
