## Detailed Description

a class representing X.509 public key certificates.

Remarks
  this class is only available if DCMTK is compiled with OpenSSL support enabled.

## Member Function Documentation

## addCertificateRevocationList()

virtual OFCondition SiCertificateVerifier::addCertificateRevocationList | ( | const char * | fileName,
|  | int | fileType )

virtual

loads a certificate revocation list (CRL) in X.509 format from a file and adds it to the pool of trusted certificates and CRLs.

Parameters

  fileName | path to the CRL file
  fileType | file format: X509_FILETYPE_PEM or X509_FILETYPE_ASN1

Returns
  SI_EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## addTrustedCertificateDir()

virtual OFCondition SiCertificateVerifier::addTrustedCertificateDir | ( | const char * | pathName,
|  | int | fileType )

virtual

loads all files as certificates from the specified directory and adds them to the pool of trusted certificates.

Parameters

  pathName | path to the directory containing certificate files
  fileType | file format: X509_FILETYPE_PEM or X509_FILETYPE_ASN1

Returns
  SI_EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## addTrustedCertificateFile()

virtual OFCondition SiCertificateVerifier::addTrustedCertificateFile | ( | const char * | fileName,
|  | int | fileType )

virtual

loads a certificate from a file and adds it to the pool of trusted certificates.

Parameters

  fileName | path to the certificate file
  fileType | file format: X509_FILETYPE_PEM or X509_FILETYPE_ASN1

Returns
  SI_EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## addUntrustedCertificateFile()

virtual OFCondition SiCertificateVerifier::addUntrustedCertificateFile | ( | const char * | fileName,
|  | int | fileType )

virtual

loads an untrusted certificate from a file and adds it to the pool of untrusted certificates.

During certificate verification these will only be accepted as intermediate CAs (not as root CA) and will undergo additional scrutiny (e.g. check of the purpose extension, if present).

Parameters

  fileName | path to the certificate file
  filetype | file format: X509_FILETYPE_PEM or X509_FILETYPE_ASN1

Returns
  SI_EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## getTrustedCertStore()

virtual X509_STORE * SiCertificateVerifier::getTrustedCertStore | ( |  | ) |

virtual

returns a pointer to the trusted certificate store managed by this object.

Returns
  pointer to trusted certificate store

## getUntrustedCerts()

virtual stack_st_X509 * SiCertificateVerifier::getUntrustedCerts | ( |  | ) |

virtual

returns a pointer to the stack of untrusted certificates managed by this object.

Note that the return type is equivalent to OpenSSL's STACK_OF(X509).

Returns
  pointer to stack of untrusted certificates

## lastError()

virtual const char * SiCertificateVerifier::lastError | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

returns an error string containing a textual description of the result of the last call to verifyCertificate() if that call returned SI_EC_VerificationFailed_NoTrust.

Returns
  text string

## lastErrorIsCertExpiry()

virtual OFBool SiCertificateVerifier::lastErrorIsCertExpiry | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

returns true if the result of the last call to verifyCertificate() was the status code indicating that the certificate has expired, false otherwise

Returns
  true if verifyCertificate() reported certificate expiry.

## setCRLverification()

virtual void SiCertificateVerifier::setCRLverification | ( | OFBool | enabled | ) |

virtual

enable or disable the verification of certificate revocation lists.

When enabled, a CRL is expected to be present for every CA certificate, and certificate verification will fail if no CRL is found.

Parameters

  enabled | OFTrue to enable verification, OFFalse to disable

## verifyCallback()

virtual int SiCertificateVerifier::verifyCallback | ( | int | deflt,
|  | X509_STORE_CTX * | ctx )

virtual

Callback function for certificate verification operations.

This method can be used by derived classes to examine and modify the result of a certificate verification.

Parameters

  deflt | default return code that should be returned if the callback does not modify the result of the verification
  ctx | certificate verification context object

Returns
  result of the verification, 0 for error, 1 for no error, 2 for "policy checking complete".

## verifyCertificate()

virtual OFCondition SiCertificateVerifier::verifyCertificate | ( | SiCertificate & | certificate | ) |

virtual

verifies a certificate against the known trusted CA certificates and certificate revocation lists.

Returns a status flag and stores a detailed error description that can be retrieved with lastError().

Parameters

  certificate | the certificate to verify

Returns
  SI_EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise. If the certificate could not be verified, returns SI_EC_VerificationFailed_NoTrust.
