ASN.1

Introduction

This module provides cmdlets to work with and parse ASN.1 formatted data structures. There are numerous libraries that can help parse ASN.1, BER, DER, and CER formatted content, but I had not seen any done in PowerShell. This module is extremely useful to help parse RSA private keys from .PEM files and create RSACrytpoServiceProvider objects entirely in PowerShell without any external library dependencies.
