Detailed Description

X.509 certificate provider

Note

This class is part of the provider plugin interface and should not be used directly by applications. You probably want Certificate instead.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CertContext()

QCA::CertContext::CertContext ( Provider *  p )

inline

Standard constructor.

Parameters

p	the provider associated with this context

Member Function Documentation

compare()

virtual bool QCA::CertContext::compare ( const CertContext *  other ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if this certificate is equal to another certificate, otherwise false.

Parameters

other

the certificate to compare with

createSelfSigned()

virtual bool QCA::CertContext::createSelfSigned ( const CertificateOptions &  opts, const PKeyContext &  priv  )

pure virtual

Create a self-signed certificate based on the given options and private key.

Returns true if successful, otherwise false.

If successful, this object becomes the self-signed certificate. If unsuccessful, this object is considered to be in an uninitialized state.

Parameters

opts	the options to set on the certificate
priv	the key to be used to sign the certificate

isIssuerOf()

virtual bool QCA::CertContext::isIssuerOf ( const CertContext *  other ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if this certificate is an issuer of another certificate, otherwise false.

Parameters

other

the issued certificate to check

props()

virtual const CertContextProps* QCA::CertContext::props ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a pointer to the properties of this certificate.

subjectPublicKey()

virtual PKeyContext* QCA::CertContext::subjectPublicKey ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a copy of this certificate's public key.

The caller is responsible for deleting it.

validate()

virtual Validity QCA::CertContext::validate ( const QList< CertContext * > &  trusted, const QList< CertContext * > &  untrusted, const QList< CRLContext * > &  crls, UsageMode  u, ValidateFlags  vf  ) const

pure virtual

Validate this certificate.

This function is blocking.

Parameters

trusted	list of trusted certificates
untrusted	list of untrusted certificates (can be empty)
crls	list of CRLs (can be empty)
u	the desired usage for this certificate
vf	validation options

validate_chain()

virtual Validity QCA::CertContext::validate_chain ( const QList< CertContext * > &  chain, const QList< CertContext * > &  trusted, const QList< CRLContext * > &  crls, UsageMode  u, ValidateFlags  vf  ) const

pure virtual

Validate a certificate chain.

This function makes no use of the certificate represented by this object, and it can be used even if this object is in an uninitialized state.

This function is blocking.

Parameters

chain	list of certificates in the chain, starting with the user certificate. It is not necessary for the chain to contain the final root certificate.
trusted	list of trusted certificates
crls	list of CRLs (can be empty)
u	the desired usage for the user certificate in the chain
vf	validation options
