pkc_lookup_key_in_trustlist(3sec)  —  Subroutines

NAME

pkc_lookup_key_in_trustlist — Searches a trust list for the specified key

Synopsis

unsigned32 pkc_lookup_key_in_trustlist(
pkc_trust_list_t ∗ trust_list,
const pkc_trusted_key_t ∗∗ key,
unsigned long key_id);

Parameters

Input

trust_listSpecifies the trust list to search. 

key_idSpecifies ID of key to return. 

Output

keyThe returned key. 

Description

pkc_lookup_key_in_trustlist(3sec) searches the specified trust list for the specified key. In the returned key, the caller will find the following fields. 

This routine is a C++ interface. C++ must be used to perform direct certificate manipulation. 

See also the contents of the asn.h and x509.h header files, which define some of the basic types used by the low-level certificate manipulation routines. 

Fields from the Certificate

   •start_date

A utc_t

   •end_date

A utc_t

   •ca_usages

A pkc_ca_key_usage_t

   •user_usages

A pkc_key_usage_t

   •policies

A pkc_key_policies_t

   •constraints

A pkc_constraints_t

Flags:

   •trusted ( A char)

Expresses whether this entry is trusted (a priori). 

   •certified (A char)

Expresses whether this key is certified by another entry. 

   •certified_by (x500name)

Name of the CA that certified this key. 

   •serial_number (asn_integer)

Serial number of certifying certificate . 

The following fields are copied from the certifying key entry:

   •certified_start_date (utc_t)

   •certified_end_date (utc_t)

   •certified_usages (pkc_ca_key_usage_t)

   •certified_policies (pkc_key_policies_t)

   •certified_constraints (pkc_constraints_t)

   •revoked (char)

Non-zero if the certifying certificate has been revoked. 

   •revocation_date (utc_t)

Date from which certifier revocation is effective. 

   •key_id (unsigned long)

An ID identifying this key entry. 

   •ca_key_id (unsigned long)

The ID of the key that certified this one. 0 means direct trust. 

   •old_key_id (unsigned long)

Temporary storage for use while copying

   •old_ca_key_id (unsigned long)

Return Values

pkc_s_success
Operation successfully completed.
