<H3>MODULE SUMMARY</H3>
<DIV CLASS=REFBODY>
Decoding of PKIX certificates with representation in 
Erlang.
</DIV>

<H3>DESCRIPTION</H3>
<DIV CLASS=REFBODY>

<P> This module provides decoding of PKIX certificates either
provided as files or as binaries. 

</DIV>

<H3>EXPORTS</H3>

<P><A NAME="decode_cert/1"><STRONG><CODE>decode_cert(Bin) -&#62; {ok, Cert} | {error, Reason}</CODE></STRONG></A><BR>
<A NAME="decode_cert/2"><STRONG><CODE>decode_cert(Bin, Opts) -&#62; {ok, Cert} | {error, Reason}</CODE></STRONG></A><BR>

<DIV CLASS=REFBODY><P>Types:
  <DIV CLASS=REFTYPES>
<P>
<STRONG><CODE>Bin = binary()</CODE></STRONG><BR>
<STRONG><CODE>Opts = [pkix | ssl | subject]</CODE></STRONG><BR>
<STRONG><CODE>Cert = term()</CODE></STRONG><BR>

  </DIV>
</DIV>

<DIV CLASS=REFBODY>

<P>      <CODE>decode_cert(Bin)</CODE> is equivalent to
         <CODE>decode_cert(Bin, [])</CODE>.

<P>     
<P>The form of the returned certificate depends on the
         options.

        
<P>If the options list is empty the certificate is returned as
         a DER encoded binary, i.e. <CODE>{ok, Bin}</CODE> is returned,
         where <CODE>Bin&#62;</CODE> is the provided input.

        
<P>The options <CODE>pkix</CODE> and <CODE>ssl</CODE> imply that the
         certificate is returned as a parsed ASN.1 structure in the
         form of an Erlang term.

        
<P>The <CODE>ssl</CODE> option gives a more elaborate return
         structure, with more explicit information. In particular
         object identifiers are replaced by atoms.

        
<P>The options <CODE>pkix</CODE>, and <CODE>ssl</CODE> are mutually
         exclusive.

        
<P>The option <CODE>subject</CODE> implies that only the subject's
         distinguished name part of the certificate is returned. It
         can only be used together with the option <CODE>pkix</CODE> or the
         option <CODE>ssl</CODE>.

</DIV>

<P><A NAME="decode_cert_file/1"><STRONG><CODE>decode_cert_file(File) -&#62; {ok, Cert} | {error, Reason}</CODE></STRONG></A><BR>
<A NAME="decode_cert_file/2"><STRONG><CODE>decode_cert_file(File, Opts) -&#62; {ok, Cert} | {error, Reason}</CODE></STRONG></A><BR>

<DIV CLASS=REFBODY><P>Types:
  <DIV CLASS=REFTYPES>
<P>
<STRONG><CODE>File = path()</CODE></STRONG><BR>
<STRONG><CODE>Opts = [pem | pkix | ssl | subject]</CODE></STRONG><BR>
<STRONG><CODE>Cert = term()</CODE></STRONG><BR>

  </DIV>
</DIV>

<DIV CLASS=REFBODY>

<P>      <CODE>decode_cert_file(File)</CODE> is equivalent to
         <CODE>decode_cert_file(File, [])</CODE>.

<P>     
<P>The form of the returned certificate depends on the
         options.

        
<P>If the options list is empty the certificate is returned as
         a DER encoded binary, i.e. the contents of the input
         <CODE>File</CODE> is returned as a binary.

        
<P>The options <CODE>pkix</CODE> and <CODE>ssl</CODE> implies that the
         certificate is returned as a parsed ASN.1 structure in the
         form of an Erlang term.

        
<P>The <CODE>ssl</CODE> option gives a more elaborate return
         structure, with more explicit information. In particular
         object identifiers are replaced by atoms.

        
<P>The options <CODE>pkix</CODE>, and <CODE>ssl</CODE> are mutually
         exclusive.

        
<P>The option <CODE>subject</CODE> implies that only the subject's
         distinguished name part of the peer certificate is returned.
         It can only be used together with the option <CODE>pkix</CODE> or
         the option <CODE>ssl</CODE>.
