| Davide Pesavento | 576c21b | 2022-11-29 20:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | Sometimes it may be necessary to export an identity's credentials (i.e., private key and associated |
| 5 | certificate) from one machine and import them into another. This requires a secure container to |
| 6 | carry the sensitive information. For this purpose, we define the **SafeBag** format, which contains |
| Davide Pesavento | 02ed332 | 2023-02-23 19:40:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 7 | an `NDN certificate <https://docs.named-data.net/NDN-packet-spec/0.3/certificate.html>`__ and the |
| Davide Pesavento | 576c21b | 2022-11-29 20:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | corresponding private key in encrypted form. The private key is formatted as a DER-encoded |
| 9 | :rfc:`EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo <5208#section-6>` structure as described in PKCS #8. |
