Member Function Documentation

certificate()

virtual CertContext * QCA::CAContext::certificate ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a copy of the CA's certificate.

The caller is responsible for deleting it.

createCertificate()

virtual CertContext * QCA::CAContext::createCertificate ( const PKeyContext & pub, const CertificateOptions & opts ) const

pure virtual

Issue a certificate based on a public key and options, and return the certificate.

The caller is responsible for deleting it.

Parameters

pub	the public key of the certificate
opts	the options to use for generation

createCRL()

virtual CRLContext * QCA::CAContext::createCRL ( const QDateTime & nextUpdate ) const

pure virtual

Create a new CRL and return it.

The caller is responsible for deleting it.

The CRL has no entries in it.

Parameters

nextUpdate

the expiration date of the CRL

setup()

virtual void QCA::CAContext::setup ( const CertContext & cert, const PKeyContext & priv )

pure virtual

Prepare the object for usage.

This must be called before any CA operations are performed.

Parameters

cert	the certificate of the CA
priv	the private key of the CA

signRequest()

virtual CertContext * QCA::CAContext::signRequest ( const CSRContext & req, const QDateTime & notValidAfter ) const

pure virtual

Issue a certificate based on a certificate request, and return the certificate.

The caller is responsible for deleting it.

Parameters

req	the certificate request
notValidAfter	the expiration date

updateCRL()

virtual CRLContext * QCA::CAContext::updateCRL ( const CRLContext & crl, const QList< CRLEntry > & entries, const QDateTime & nextUpdate ) const

pure virtual

Update an existing CRL, by examining an old one and creating a new one based on it.

The new CRL is returned, and the caller is responsible for deleting it.
