Hi Team,
We are getting following error.

  export function rsaPublicKeyToPEM(modulusB64, exponentB64) {
  const modulus = new Buffer(modulusB64, 'base64');
  const exponent = new Buffer(exponentB64, 'base64');*

Thanks

We're receiving this as well. Has there been any established timeline for when this may be addressed?

It looks like the following lines are affected:

node-jwks-rsa/src/utils.js

Line 36 in d0c5787

const modulus = new Buffer(modulusB64, 'base64');

node-jwks-rsa/src/utils.js

Line 37 in d0c5787

const exponent = new Buffer(exponentB64, 'base64');

node-jwks-rsa/src/utils.js

Line 50 in d0c5787

const der = new Buffer(encodedPubkey, 'hex')

EDIT: I actually went ahead and made this change myself since it was a pretty straight forward fix.

Fixed with #154. We'll target publishing a new version likely next week.
