DerBitString

DerBitString

A BIT STRING payload and the number of unused trailing bits in its final byte.

interface DerBitString {
	readonly bytes: Uint8Array;
	readonly unusedBits: number;
	readonly nonZeroPadding: boolean;
}

Properties

• readonly bytes: Uint8Array — Payload bytes, excluding the leading unused-bit count octet.
• readonly unusedBits: number — Unused trailing bits in the final byte, 0 through 7.
• readonly nonZeroPadding: boolean — true when the original encoding had non-zero padding bits (DER violation).
