What is PKI.js?
PKIjs is a JavaScript library that implements the formats used in public-key infrastructure (PKI) applications, including signing, encryption, certificate requests, Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), and Time Stamp Protocol (TSP) requests and responses. Developed to leverage the Web Cryptography API, PKIjs does not require any plugins, enabling developers to integrate PKI functionality seamlessly into web-based applications. The library provides a comprehensive set of tools for working with digital certificates, cryptographic keys, and related PKI data structures, empowering developers to build secure and interoperable web applications that can authenticate users, encrypt data, and verify digital signatures
