Name

gnutls_x509_crt_get_key_id — API function

Synopsis

#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_x509_crt_get_key_id( gnutls_x509_crt_t crt,
  unsigned int flags,
  unsigned char * output_data,
  size_t * output_data_size);
 

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_crt_t crt

Holds the certificate

unsigned int flags

should be 0 for now

unsigned char * output_data

will contain the key ID

size_t * output_data_size

holds the size of output_data (and will be replaced by the actual size of parameters)

DESCRIPTION

This function will return a unique ID that depends on the public key parameters. This ID can be used in checking whether a certificate corresponds to the given private key.

If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output, then *output_data_size is updated and GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will be returned. The output will normally be a SHA−1 hash output, which is 20 bytes.

RETURNS

In case of failure a negative error code will be returned, and 0 on success.
