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.

Member Function Documentation

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.

virtual const CertContextProps* QCA::CertContext::props

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns a pointer to the properties of this certificate.

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

virtual PKeyContext* QCA::CertContext::subjectPublicKey

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns a copy of this certificate's public key.

The caller is responsible for deleting it.

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

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

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
