CX509Certificate Class Reference

Destructor.

Frees all resources owned by the object, prior to its destruction.

Gets the encoded data for the specified encoded data element (in the To Be Signed (TBS) certificate data structure) of the signed object.

Gets the certificate extension identified by the specified object identifier (OID).

Gets all generic certificate extensions.

Internalises an object of this class from a read stream.

The presence of this function means that the standard templated operator>>() can be used to internalise objects of this class.

Note that the function has assignment semantics. It replaces the old value of the object with a new value read from the read stream.

Tests whether the specified X.509 certificate is equal to this X.509 certificate.

X.509 certificates are equal if both the serial number and the issuer name are the same.

Tests whether the certificate is self-signed.

Gets the issuer of the certificate.

If the certificate has decoded the members from TeletexString then the return value may be incorrect because TeletexString type is not fully supported by this library. Instead the decode methods perform a direct conversion from 8 to 16bits by adding null characters in the second byte of each character. This will work as expected for cases where the string contains ASCII data.

Gets the X.500 Distinguished Name that identifies the issuer.

Gets a key identifier for the certificate. This is a unique identifier, calculated according to the recommended method of computing it from RFC3280, section 4.2.1.2. Please note that this method does NOT return the value of the Subject Key Id extension, if it is present.

Creates a new X.509 certificate object from the specified buffer containing the binary coded representation.

Creates a new X.509 certificate object from the specified buffer containing the binary coded representation, starting at the specified offset.

Creates a new X.509 certificate object from the specified read stream.

Creates a new X.509 certificate object from an existing object.

This is equivalent to a copy constructor.

Creates a new X.509 certificate object from the specified buffer containing the binary coded representation, and puts a pointer to it onto the cleanup stack.

Initialises the object from its encoded binary form into an internal representation.

Creates a new X.509 certificate object from the specified buffer containing the binary coded representation, starting at the specified offset, and puts a pointer to it onto the cleanup stack.

Creates a new X.509 certificate object from the specified read stream, and puts a pointer to it onto the cleanup stack.

Construction is from the stream.

Creates a new X.509 certificate object from an existing object.

This is equivalent to a copy constructor.

Gets the certificate's signed data.

Retrieves the subject key identifier of a certificate based on the decision whether it is a CA certificate or not. If it is a CA certificate then returns the stored subject key id as an extension in the certificate, any other certificate it returns the keyidentifier as calculated by Symbian's proprietary logic.

Gets the subject key identifier for the certificate. This identifier is extracted from the certificate (if the corresponding extension exists), or calculated (if the extension doesn't exist). If calculated, the recommendation from section 4.2.1.2, RFC3280 is used (hash of the public key). Please note, that for subject key ids extracted from the certificate there is a length limit - if the extension is longer than 160 bits, it is ignored and the value is calculated instead.

Gets the subject of the certificate.

Gets the version number of the certificate.
