50 X509Certificate is the abstract class for X.509 certificates.
51 This provides a stanard class interface for accessing all
52 the attributes of X.509 certificates.
53
54 In June 1996, the basic X.509 v3 format was finished by
55 ISO/IEC and ANSI X.9. The ASN.1 DER format is below:
56
57 Certificate ::= SEQUENCE {
58 tbsCertificate TBSCertificate,
59 signatureAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
60 signatureValue BIT STRING }
61
62 These certificates are widely used in various Internet
63 protocols to support authentication. It is used in
64 Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM), Transport Layer Security (TLS),
65 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), code signing for trusted software
66 distribution, and Secure Electronic Transactions (SET).
67
68 The certificates are managed and vouched for by
69 <I>Certificate Authorities</I> (CAs). CAs are companies or
70 groups that create certificates by placing the data in the
71 X.509 certificate format and signing it with their private
72 key. CAs serve as trusted third parties by certifying that
73 the person or group specified in the certificate is who
74 they say they are.
75
76 The ASN.1 defintion for <I>tbsCertificate</I> is
77
78 TBSCertificate ::= SEQUENCE {
79 version [0] EXPLICIT Version DEFAULT v1,
80 serialNumber CertificateSerialNumber,
81 signature AlgorithmIdentifier,
82 issuer Name,
83 validity Validity,
84 subject Name,
85 subjectPublicKeyInfo SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
86 issuerUniqueID [1] IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
87 -- If present, version shall be v2 or v3
88 subjectUniqueID [2] IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
89 -- If present, version shall be v2 or v3
90 extensions [3] EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL
91 -- If present, version shall be v3
92 }
93
94 Version ::= INTEGER { v1(0), v2(1), v3(2) }
95
96 CertificateSerialNumber ::= INTEGER
97
98 Validity ::= SEQUENCE {
99 notBefore Time,
100 notAfter Time }
101
102 Time ::= CHOICE {
103 utcTime UTCTime,
104 generalTime GeneralizedTime }
105
106 UniqueIdentifier ::= BIT STRING
107
108 SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
109 algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
110 subjectPublicKey BIT STRING }
111
112 Extensions ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension
113
114 Extension ::= SEQUENCE {
115 extnID OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
116 critical BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
117 extnValue OCTET STRING }
118
119
120 Certificates are created with the CertificateFactory.
