+ # Changelog
2
+
3
+ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
4
+
5
+ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
6
+ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
7
+
8
+ ## [5.0.0] - 2025-11-26
9
+
10
+ ### 🚀 Major Rewrite
11
+
12
+ Complete rewrite replacing `node-forge` with modern `@peculiar/x509` and `pkijs` libraries.
13
+
14
+ ### ✨ Added
15
+
16
+ - Native WebCrypto API support for better performance and security
17
+ - TypeScript examples in documentation
18
+ - Async/await support as the primary API
19
+ - Support for `keyPair` option to use existing keys
20
+ - Updated to use Node.js native crypto for all operations
21
+ - Separate `selfsign/pkcs7` module for tree-shakeable PKCS#7 support
22
+
23
+ ### 💥 BREAKING CHANGES
24
+
25
+ 1. **Async-only API**: The `generate()` function now returns a Promise. Synchronous generation has been removed.
26
+ ```js
27
+ // Old (v4.x)
28
+ const pems = selfsign.generate(attrs, options);
29
+
30
+ // New (v5.x)
31
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(attrs, options);
32
+ ```
33
+
34
+ 2. **No callback support**: Callbacks have been completely removed in favor of Promises.
35
+ ```js
36
+ // Old (v4.x)
37
+ selfsign.generate(attrs, options, function(err, pems) { ... });
38
+
39
+ // New (v5.x)
40
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(attrs, options);
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ 3. **Minimum Node.js version**: Now requires Node.js >= 15.6.0 (was >= 10)
44
+ - Required for native WebCrypto support
45
+
46
+ 4. **Dependencies changed**:
47
+ - ❌ Removed: `node-forge` (1.64 MB)
48
+ - ✅ Added: `@peculiar/x509` (551 KB) - 66% smaller!
49
+ - ✅ Added: `pkijs` (1.94 MB, only for PKCS#7 support)
50
+ - Bundle size reduced by 66% when not using PKCS#7
51
+
52
+ 5. **PKCS#7 API changed**:
53
+ - Old: `const pems = await generate(attrs, { pkcs7: true }); pems.pkcs7`
54
+ - New: `const { createPkcs7 } = require('selfsign/pkcs7'); const pkcs7 = createPkcs7(pems.cert);`
55
+ - PKCS#7 is now a separate module for better tree-shaking
56
+
57
+ ### 🔧 Changed
58
+
59
+ - Default key size remains 2048 bits (was incorrectly documented as 1024)
60
+ - PEM output uses `\n` line endings (was `\r\n`)
61
+ - Private keys now use PKCS#8 format (`BEGIN PRIVATE KEY` instead of `BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY`)
62
+ - Certificate generation is now fully async using native WebCrypto
63
+ - **PKCS#7 is now tree-shakeable**: Moved to separate `selfsign/pkcs7` module so bundlers can exclude it when not used
64
+
65
+ ### 🐛 Fixed
66
+
67
+ - Default key size documentation corrected from 1024 to 2048 bits
68
+ - Improved error handling for certificate generation failures
69
+
70
+ ### 📦 Dependencies
71
+
72
+ **Removed:**
73
+ - `node-forge@^1.3.1`
74
+ - `@types/node-forge@^1.3.0`
75
+
76
+ **Added:**
77
+ - `@peculiar/x509@^1.14.2` (required)
78
+ - `pkijs@^3.3.3` (required, but tree-shakeable via separate `selfsign/pkcs7` module)
79
+
80
+ ### 🔒 Security
81
+
82
+ - Now uses Node.js native WebCrypto API instead of JavaScript implementation
83
+ - Better integration with platform security features
84
+ - More secure random number generation
85
+
86
+ ### 📚 Documentation
87
+
88
+ - Complete README rewrite with async/await examples
89
+ - Added migration guide from v4.x to v5.x
90
+ - Updated all code examples to use async/await
91
+ - Added requirements section highlighting Node.js version requirement

+ # selfsign
2
+
3
+ Generate self-sign X.509 certificates using Node.js native crypto.
4
+
5
+ ## Install
6
+
7
+ ```bash
8
+ npm install selfsign
9
+ ```
10
+
11
+ ## Requirements
12
+
13
+ - **Node.js >= 15.6.0** (for native WebCrypto support)
14
+
15
+ ## Usage
16
+
17
+ **Version 5.0 is async-only.** The `generate()` function now returns a Promise.
18
+
19
+ ```js
20
+ const selfsign = require('self-sign');
21
+
22
+ const attrs = [{ name: 'commonName', value: 'contoso.com' }];
23
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(attrs);
24
+ console.log(pems);
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ ### Output
28
+
29
+ ```js
30
+ {
31
+ private: '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...',
32
+ public: '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n...',
33
+ cert: '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...',
34
+ fingerprint: 'XX:XX:XX:...'
35
+ }
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ ## Options
39
+
40
+ ```js
41
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
42
+ keyType: 'rsa', // key type: 'rsa' or 'ec' (default: 'rsa')
43
+ keySize: 2048, // the size for the private key in bits (default: 2048, RSA only)
44
+ curve: 'P-256', // elliptic curve: 'P-256', 'P-384', or 'P-521' (default: 'P-256', EC only)
45
+ notBeforeDate: new Date(), // start of certificate validity (default: now)
46
+ notAfterDate: new Date('2026-01-01'), // end of certificate validity (default: notBeforeDate + 365 days)
47
+ algorithm: 'sha256', // sign the certificate with specified algorithm (default: 'sha1')
48
+ extensions: [{ name: 'basicConstraints', cA: true }], // certificate extensions array
49
+ clientCertificate: true, // generate client cert (default: false) - can also be an options object
50
+ ca: { key: '...', cert: '...' }, // CA key and cert for signing (default: self-sign)
51
+ passphrase: 'secret' // encrypt the private key with a passphrase (default: none)
52
+ },null);
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ ### Setting Custom Validity Period
56
+
57
+ Use `notBeforeDate` and `notAfterDate` to control certificate validity:
58
+
59
+ ```js
60
+ // Using date-fns
61
+ const { addDays, addYears } = require('date-fns');
62
+
63
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
64
+ notBeforeDate: new Date(),
65
+ notAfterDate: addDays(new Date(), 30) // Valid for 30 days
66
+ },null);
67
+
68
+ // Or with vanilla JS
69
+ const notBefore = new Date();
70
+ const notAfter = new Date(notBefore);
71
+ notAfter.setFullYear(notAfter.getFullYear() + 2); // Valid for 2 years
72
+
73
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
74
+ notBeforeDate: notBefore,
75
+ notAfterDate: notAfter
76
+ },null);
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ ### Supported Algorithms
80
+
81
+ - `sha1` (default)
82
+ - `sha256`
83
+ - `sha384`
84
+ - `sha512`
85
+
86
+ ### Custom Extensions
87
+
88
+ You can customize certificate extensions using the `extensions` option. This is useful for adding Subject Alternative Names (SANs) with IPv6 addresses, custom key usage, and more.
89
+
90
+ ```js
91
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(
92
+ [{ name: 'commonName', value: 'localhost' }],
93
+ {
94
+ extensions: [
95
+ {
96
+ name: 'basicConstraints',
97
+ cA: false
98
+ },
99
+ {
100
+ name: 'keyUsage',
101
+ digitalSignature: true,
102
+ keyEncipherment: true
103
+ },
104
+ {
105
+ name: 'subjectAltName',
106
+ altNames: [
107
+ { type: 2, value: 'localhost' }, // DNS
108
+ { type: 7, ip: '127.0.0.1' }, // IPv4
109
+ { type: 7, ip: '::1' } // IPv6
110
+ ]
111
+ }
112
+ ]
113
+ },null
114
+ );
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ #### Supported Extensions
118
+
119
+ **basicConstraints**
120
+ ```js
121
+ {
122
+ name: 'basicConstraints',
123
+ cA: true, // is this a CA certificate?
124
+ pathLenConstraint: 0, // max depth of valid cert chain (optional)
125
+ critical: true // mark as critical extension
126
+ }
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ **keyUsage**
130
+ ```js
131
+ {
132
+ name: 'keyUsage',
133
+ digitalSignature: true,
134
+ nonRepudiation: true,
135
+ keyEncipherment: true,
136
+ dataEncipherment: true,
137
+ keyAgreement: true,
138
+ keyCertSign: true, // for CA certificates
139
+ cRLSign: true, // for CA certificates
140
+ encipherOnly: true,
141
+ decipherOnly: true,
142
+ critical: true
143
+ }
144
+ ```
145
+
146
+ **extKeyUsage** (Extended Key Usage)
147
+ ```js
148
+ {
149
+ name: 'extKeyUsage',
150
+ serverAuth: true, // TLS server authentication
151
+ clientAuth: true, // TLS client authentication
152
+ codeSigning: true,
153
+ emailProtection: true,
154
+ timeStamping: true
155
+ }
156
+ ```
157
+
158
+ **subjectAltName** (Subject Alternative Name)
159
+ ```js
160
+ {
161
+ name: 'subjectAltName',
162
+ altNames: [
163
+ { type: 1, value: 'user@example.com' }, // email (rfc822Name)
164
+ { type: 2, value: 'example.com' }, // DNS name
165
+ { type: 2, value: '*.example.com' }, // wildcard DNS
166
+ { type: 6, value: 'http://example.com/webid' }, // URI
167
+ { type: 7, ip: '127.0.0.1' }, // IPv4 address
168
+ { type: 7, ip: '::1' } // IPv6 address
169
+ ]
170
+ }
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ #### Default Extensions
174
+
175
+ When no `extensions` option is provided (or an empty array), the following defaults are used:
176
+
177
+ ```js
178
+ [
179
+ { name: 'basicConstraints', cA: false, critical: true },
180
+ { name: 'keyUsage', digitalSignature: true, keyEncipherment: true, critical: true },
181
+ { name: 'extKeyUsage', serverAuth: true, clientAuth: true },
182
+ { name: 'subjectAltName', altNames: [
183
+ { type: 2, value: commonName },
184
+ // For localhost, also includes: { type: 7, ip: '127.0.0.1' }
185
+ ]}
186
+ ]
187
+ ```
188
+
189
+ ### Elliptic Curve (EC) Keys
190
+
191
+ By default, selfsign generates RSA keys. You can generate certificates using elliptic curve cryptography instead, which provides equivalent security with smaller key sizes and faster operations.
192
+
193
+ ```js
194
+ // Generate EC certificate with P-256 curve (default)
195
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, { keyType: 'ec' },null);
196
+
197
+ // Generate EC certificate with P-384 curve
198
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, { keyType: 'ec', curve: 'P-384' },null);
199
+
200
+ // Generate EC certificate with P-521 curve and SHA-512
201
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
202
+ keyType: 'ec',
203
+ curve: 'P-521',
204
+ algorithm: 'sha512'
205
+ },null);
206
+ ```
207
+
208
+ **Supported curves:**
209
+ - `P-256` (default) - 128-bit security, fastest
210
+ - `P-384` - 192-bit security
211
+ - `P-521` - 256-bit security, strongest
212
+
213
+ EC keys work with all other options including `clientCertificate`, `passphrase`, `ca`, and `keyPair`:
214
+
215
+ ```js
216
+ // EC certificate with encrypted private key
217
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
218
+ keyType: 'ec',
219
+ passphrase: 'secret'
220
+ },null);
221
+
222
+ // EC certificate with client certificate
223
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
224
+ keyType: 'ec',
225
+ clientCertificate: true
226
+ },null);
227
+
228
+ // Reuse existing EC key pair
229
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
230
+ keyType: 'ec',
231
+ curve: 'P-256',
232
+ keyPair: {
233
+ publicKey: existingPublicKey,
234
+ privateKey: existingPrivateKey
235
+ }
236
+ },null);
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ ### Using Your Own Keys
240
+
241
+ You can avoid key pair generation by specifying your own keys:
242
+
243
+ ```js
244
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
245
+ keyPair: {
246
+ publicKey: '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----...',
247
+ privateKey: '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----...'
248
+ }
249
+ },null);
250
+ ```
251
+
252
+ ### Encrypting the Private Key
253
+
254
+ You can encrypt the private key with a passphrase using AES-256-CBC:
255
+
256
+ ```js
257
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
258
+ passphrase: 'my-secret-passphrase'
259
+ },null);
260
+
261
+ // The private key will be in encrypted PKCS#8 format:
262
+ // -----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
263
+ // ...
264
+ // -----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
265
+ ```
266
+
267
+ To use the encrypted key, provide the passphrase:
268
+
269
+ ```js
270
+ const crypto = require('crypto');
271
+
272
+ // Decrypt the key
273
+ const privateKey = crypto.createPrivateKey({
274
+ key: pems.private,
275
+ passphrase: 'my-secret-passphrase'
276
+ });
277
+
278
+ // Or use directly with HTTPS server
279
+ const https = require('https');
280
+ https.createServer({
281
+ key: pems.private,
282
+ passphrase: 'my-secret-passphrase',
283
+ cert: pems.cert
284
+ }, app).listen(443);
285
+ ```
286
+
287
+ ### Signing with a CA
288
+
289
+ You can generate certificates signed by an existing Certificate Authority instead of self-sign certificates. This is useful for development environments where you want browsers to trust your certificates.
290
+
291
+ ```js
292
+ const fs = require('fs');
293
+ const selfsign = require('self-sign');
294
+
295
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate([
296
+ { name: 'commonName', value: 'localhost' }
297
+ ], {
298
+ algorithm: 'sha256',
299
+ ca: {
300
+ key: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/ca.key', 'utf8'),
301
+ cert: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/ca.crt', 'utf8')
302
+ }
303
+ },null);
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ The generated certificate will be signed by the provided CA and will include:
307
+ - Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension with DNS name matching the commonName
308
+ - For `localhost`, an additional IP SAN for `127.0.0.1`
309
+ - Key Usage: digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
310
+ - Extended Key Usage: serverAuth, clientAuth
311
+
312
+ #### Using with mkcert
313
+
314
+ [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) is a simple tool for making locally-trusted development certificates. Combining it with `selfsign` provides an excellent developer experience:

+ - **No certificate files to manage** - generate trusted certificates on-the-fly at server startup
317
+ - **No git-ignored cert files** - nothing to store, share, or accidentally commit
318
+ - **Browsers trust the certificates automatically** - no security warnings during development

+ ```js
321
+ const https = require('https');
322
+ const fs = require('fs');
323
+ const path = require('path');
324
+ const { execSync } = require('child_process');
325
+ const selfsign = require('self-sign');
326
+
327
+ // Get mkcert's CA (requires: brew install mkcert && mkcert -install)
328
+ const caroot = execSync('mkcert -CAROOT', { encoding: 'utf8' }).trim();
329
+
330
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate([
331
+ { name: 'commonName', value: 'localhost' }
332
+ ], {
333
+ algorithm: 'sha256',
334
+ ca: {
335
+ key: fs.readFileSync(path.join(caroot, 'rootCA-key.pem'), 'utf8'),
336
+ cert: fs.readFileSync(path.join(caroot, 'rootCA.pem'), 'utf8')

+ // Start server with browser-trusted certificate - no files written to disk
341
+ https.createServer({ key: pems.private, cert: pems.cert }, app).listen(443);

345
+
346
+ ## Attributes
347
+
348
+ Attributes follow the X.509 standard:
349
+
350
+ ```js
351
+ const attrs = [
352
+ { name: 'commonName', value: 'example.org' },
353
+ { name: 'countryName', value: 'US' },
354
+ { shortName: 'ST', value: 'Virginia' },
355
+ { name: 'localityName', value: 'Blacksburg' },
356
+ { name: 'organizationName', value: 'Test' },
357
+ { shortName: 'OU', value: 'Test' }
358
+ ];
359
+ ```
360
+
361
+ ## Generate Client Certificates
362
+
363
+ For environments where servers require client certificates, you can generate client keys signed by the original (server) key:
364
+
365
+ ```js
366
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, { clientCertificate: true },null);
367
+ console.log(pems);
368
+ ```
369
+
370
+ Output includes additional client certificate fields:
371
+
372
+ ```js
373
+ {
374
+ private: '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...',
375
+ public: '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n...',
376
+ cert: '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...',
377
+ fingerprint: 'XX:XX:XX:...',
378
+ clientprivate: '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...',
379
+ clientpublic: '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n...',
380
+ clientcert: '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n...'
381
+ }
382
+ ```
383
+
384
+ ### Client Certificate Options
385
+
386
+ The `clientCertificate` option can be `true` for defaults, or an options object for full control:
387
+
388
+ ```js
389
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
390
+ clientCertificate: {
391
+ cn: 'jdoe', // common name (default: 'John Doe jdoe123')
392
+ keyType: 'rsa', // key type: 'rsa' or 'ec' (default: inherits from parent)
393
+ keySize: 4096, // key size in bits (default: 2048, RSA only)
394
+ curve: 'P-256', // elliptic curve (default: 'P-256', EC only)
395
+ algorithm: 'sha256', // signature algorithm (default: inherits from parent or 'sha1')
396
+ notBeforeDate: new Date(), // validity start (default: now)
397
+ notAfterDate: new Date('2026-01-01') // validity end (default: notBeforeDate + 1 year)
398
+ }
399
+ },null);
400
+ ```
401
+
402
+ Simple example with just a custom CN:
403
+
404
+ ```js
405
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, {
406
+ clientCertificate: { cn: 'FooBar' }
407
+ },null);
408
+ ```
409
+
410
+ ## PKCS#7 Support
411
+
412
+ PKCS#7 formatting is available through a separate module for better tree-shaking:
413
+
414
+ ```js
415
+ const selfsign = require('self-sign');
416
+ const { createPkcs7 } = require('self-sign/pkcs7');
417
+
418
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(attrs);
419
+ const pkcs7 = createPkcs7(pems.cert);
420
+ console.log(pkcs7); // PKCS#7 formatted certificate
421
+ ```
422
+
423
+ You can also create PKCS#7 for client certificates:
424
+
425
+ ```js
426
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(null, { clientCertificate: true },null);
427
+ const clientPkcs7 = createPkcs7(pems.clientcert);
428
+ ```
429
+
430
+ ## Migration from v4.x
431
+
432
+ Version 5.0 introduces breaking changes:
433
+
434
+ ### Breaking Changes
435
+
436
+ 1. **Async-only API**: The `generate()` function is now async and returns a Promise. Synchronous generation is no longer supported.
437
+ 2. **No callback support**: Callbacks have been removed. Use `async`/`await` or `.then()`.
438
+ 3. **Minimum Node.js version**: Now requires Node.js >= 15.6.0 (was >= 10).
439
+ 4. **Dependencies**: Replaced `node-forge` with `@peculiar/x509` and `pkijs` (66% smaller bundle size).
440
+ 5. **`days` option removed**: Use `notAfterDate` instead. Default validity is 365 days from `notBeforeDate`.
441
+
442
+ ### Migration Examples
443
+
444
+ **Old (v4.x):**
445
+ ```js
446
+ // Sync
447
+ const pems = selfsign.generate(attrs, { days: 365 });
448
+
449
+ // Callback
450
+ selfsign.generate(attrs, { days: 365 },null, function(err, pems) {
451
+ if (err) throw err;
452
+ console.log(pems);
453
+ });
454
+ ```
455
+
456
+ **New (v5.x):**
457
+ ```js
458
+ // Async/await (default 365 days validity)
459
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(attrs);
460
+
461
+ // Custom validity with notAfterDate
462
+ const notAfter = new Date();
463
+ notAfter.setDate(notAfter.getDate() + 30); // 30 days
464
+ const pems = await selfsign.generate(attrs, { notAfterDate: notAfter });
465
+
466
+ // Or with .then()
467
+ selfsign.generate(attrs)
468
+ .then(pems => console.log(pems))
469
+ .catch(err => console.error(err));
470
+ ```
