The API centers on a sealed DEREncodable interface and two immutable, thread-safe classes: PEMEncoder and PEMDecoder. Basic usage involves calling PEMEncoder.of() or PEMDecoder.of() and then encode/decode methods. The API also supports password-based encryption of private keys, custom cryptographic providers, and a PEMRecord type for handling cryptographic objects the JDK doesn't have a dedicated type for (e.g., PKCS#10 requests). Decoding can return a generic DEREncodable for pattern-matching or a specific subtype when the expected type is known. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
