Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "gcr_certificate_get_type ()" ) ]
public interface Certificate : Object

An interface that represents an X.509 certificate.

Objects can implement this interface to make a certificate usable with the GCR library.

Various methods are available to parse out relevant bits of the certificate. However no verification of the validity of a certificate is done here. Use your favorite crypto library to do this.

You can use [class@SimpleCertificate] to simply load a certificate for which you already have the raw certificate data.

The Certificate interface has several properties that must be implemented. You can use a mixin to implement these properties if desired. See the gcr_certificate_mixin_class_init and gcr_certificate_mixin_get_property functions.

public unowned uint8[]? get_fingerprint (ChecksumType type)
Calculate the fingerprint for this certificate.
public string? get_fingerprint_hex (ChecksumType type)
Calculate the fingerprint for this certificate, and return it as a hex string.
public List<CertificateSection> get_interface_elements ()
Get the list of sections from the certificate that can be shown to the user interface.
public DateTime? get_issued_date ()

Get a name to represent the issuer of this certificate.
public string? get_issuer_part (string part)
Get a part of the DN of the issuer of this certificate.
public uint8[]? get_issuer_raw ()
Get the raw DER data for the issuer DN of the certificate.
public uint get_key_size ()
Get the key size in bits of the public key represented by this certificate.
public unowned uint8[]? get_serial_number ()
Get the raw binary serial number of the certificate.
public string? get_serial_number_hex ()
Get the serial number of the certificate as a hex string.
public string? get_subject_cn ()
Get the common name of the subject of this certificate.
public string? get_subject_dn ()
Get the full subject DN of the certificate as a (mostly) readable string.
public string? get_subject_name ()
Get a name to represent the subject of this certificate.
public string? get_subject_part (string part)
Get a part of the DN of the subject of this certificate.
public uint8[]? get_subject_raw ()
Get the raw DER data for the subject DN of the certificate.
public bool is_issuer (Certificate issuer)
Check if issuer could be the issuer of this certificate.
public void mixin_emit_notify ()
Implementers of the Certificate mixin should call this function to notify when the certificate has changed to emit notifications on the various properties.
