# DER Serialized Public Key Loader Loads a public key from a DER-encoded byte string. Source library: `cryptography` ## Overview This node loads a public key serialized in DER format. DER is a binary format commonly used in X.509 digital certificates and public key infrastructure (PKI) systems. ## Parameters - **keyfile**: The DER-encoded public key data, as a `BYTESLIKE` object. ## Outputs - **loaded_key**: The loaded public key object (`KEYOBJ`), ready for use with verification nodes. ## Additional Considerations - DER public keys are commonly found in X.509 certificates. Always verify the certificate chain when loading public keys from untrusted sources.
