Detailed Description

Interface class for X509 certificates.

The library uses classes derived from this to process X509 Certificates.

Strictly speaking, this class is not required (and is completely Optional. However it is used by XSECKeyInfoResolverDefault to extract a key from a certificate in cases where the caller is not worried about the trust level of the certificate.

Member Function Documentation

virtual XSECCryptoKey* XSECCryptoX509::clonePublicKey (   )  [pure virtual]

Get a copy of the public key. The implementation should extract the key from the certificate, create an instance of the appropriate key type, and return it. Implemented in OpenSSLCryptoX509, and WinCAPICryptoX509.

virtual safeBuffer& XSECCryptoX509::getDEREncodingSB (  void   )  [pure virtual]

Get a Base64 DER encoded copy of the certificate. Returns: A safeBuffer containing the DER encoded certificate Implemented in OpenSSLCryptoX509, and WinCAPICryptoX509.

virtual const XMLCh* XSECCryptoX509::getProviderName (   )  [pure virtual]

Returns a string that identifies the crypto owner of this library. Implemented in OpenSSLCryptoX509, and WinCAPICryptoX509.

virtual XSECCryptoKey::KeyType XSECCryptoX509::getPublicKeyType (   )  [pure virtual]

Return the type of the key stored in the certificate. The implementation is expected to extract the key from the certificate and determine the type. Implemented in OpenSSLCryptoX509, and WinCAPICryptoX509.

virtual void XSECCryptoX509::loadX509Base64Bin (  const char *  buf, unsigned int  len )  [pure virtual]

Load a certificate into the object. Take a base64 DER encoded certificate and load. Parameters: buf  A buffer containing the Base64 encoded certificate len  The number of bytes of data in the certificate. Implemented in OpenSSLCryptoX509, and WinCAPICryptoX509.

void XSECCryptoX509::loadX509PEM (  const char *  buf, unsigned int  len = 0 )

Load a PEM encoded certificate into the object. Take a PEM encoded certificate and load. Parameters: buf  A buffer containing the PEM encoded certificate len  The number of bytes of data in the certificate. (0 if the string is null terminated.)
