Parameters

Input

keyinfobase
Information about the key (returned by pkc_retrieve_keyinfo(3sec)).

key_index
Index of the key.

certifier_index
Index of the certifier about whom information is desired.

Output

certifier_name
The name of the certifier.

certification_start
Time at which certification by this certifier starts.

certification_expiration
Time at which certification by this certifier ends.

crl_valid
If TRUE, there is a certificate revocation list for this certifier.

crl_last_seen
Time at which certificate revocation list was last seen.

next_crl_expected
Time at which next certificate revocation list is expected.

Description

pkc_get_key_certifier_info(3sec) returns information about a specific certifier from a key's certification path. Certifier 0 is the CA that vouched for the key; certifier 1 is the CA that vouched for certifier 0, etc. The total number of certifiers for a given key is returned by pkc_get_key_certifier_count(3sec).

The desired information is extracted by the routine from the keyinfo_t structure, which must first be obtained by the caller by a call to the pkc_retrieve_keyinfo(3sec) routine.

Any of the return parameters may be passed as NULL if the corresponding information is not required.

Upon successful return, the certifier_name parameter will contain allocated storage which must be released with pkc_free(3sec) when the application has finished with it.

Return Values

pkc_s_success
Operation successfully completed.
