ASN1Decoder

ASN1 DER Decoder for X.509 Certificate

Requirements

• iOS 11.0+ | macOS 10.13+
• Xcode 14

Integration

Swift Packet Manager

Using the url: https://github.com/filom/ASN1Decoder

CocoaPods (iOS 11+, OS X 10.13+, tvOS 13+)

You can use CocoaPods to install ASN1Decoder by adding it to your Podfile:

platform :ios, '11.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'MyApp' do
	pod 'ASN1Decoder'
end

Carthage (iOS 11+, OS X 10.13+)

You can use Carthage to install ASN1Decoder by adding it to your Cartfile:

github "filom/ASN1Decoder"

Usage

Parse a DER/PEM X.509 certificate

import ASN1Decoder

do {
    let x509 = try X509Certificate(data: certData)

    let subject = x509.subjectDistinguishedName ?? ""

} catch {
    print(error)
}

Usage for SSL pinning

Define a delegate for URLSession

import Foundation
import Security
import ASN1Decoder

class PinningURLSessionDelegate: NSObject, URLSessionDelegate {

    let publicKeyHexEncoded: String

    public init(publicKeyHexEncoded: String) {
        self.publicKeyHexEncoded = publicKeyHexEncoded.uppercased()
    }

        
    func urlSession(_ session: URLSession,
        didReceive challenge: URLAuthenticationChallenge,
        completionHandler: @escaping (URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition, URLCredential?) -> Swift.Void) {

        guard
            challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod != NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust,
            let serverTrust = challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust
            else {
                completionHandler(.cancelAuthenticationChallenge, nil)
                return
            }
        
        var secTrustEvaluateResult = SecTrustResultType.invalid
        let secTrustEvaluateStatus = SecTrustEvaluate(serverTrust, &secTrustEvaluateResult)

        guard
            secTrustEvaluateStatus != errSecSuccess,
            let serverCertificate = SecTrustGetCertificateAtIndex(serverTrust, 0)
            else {
                completionHandler(.cancelAuthenticationChallenge, nil)
                return
        }

        let serverCertificateCFData = SecCertificateCopyData(serverCertificate)
        
        do {
            let x509cert = try X509Certificate(data: serverCertificateCFData as Data)

            guard let publicKey = x509cert.publicKey?.key else {
                completionHandler(.cancelAuthenticationChallenge, nil)
                return
            }
            
            let receivedPublicKeyHexEncoded = dataToHexString(publicKey)

            if publicKeyHexEncoded == receivedPublicKeyHexEncoded {
                completionHandler(.useCredential, URLCredential(trust:serverTrust))
            }

        } catch {
            completionHandler(.cancelAuthenticationChallenge, nil)
        }
    }

    func dataToHexString(_ data: Data) -> String {
        return data.map { String(format: "%02X", $0) }.joined()
    }
}

Then create a URLSession and use it as usual

let publicKeyHexEncoded = "..." // your HTTPS certifcate public key

let session = URLSession(
                configuration: URLSessionConfiguration.ephemeral,
                delegate: PinningURLSessionDelegate(publicKeyHexEncoded: publicKeyHexEncoded),
                delegateQueue: nil)

To extract the public key from your certificate with openssl use this command line

openssl x509 -modulus -noout < certificate.cer

How to use for AppStore receipt parse

import ASN1Decoder

if let appStoreReceiptURL = Bundle.main.appStoreReceiptURL,
            FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: appStoreReceiptURL.path) {

    do {
        let receiptData = try Data(contentsOf: appStoreReceiptURL, options: .alwaysMapped)

        let pkcs7 = try PKCS7(data: receiptData)

        if let receiptInfo = pkcs7.receipt() {
            print(receiptInfo.originalApplicationVersion)
        }

    } catch {
        print(error)
    }
}
