gnutls_x509_crt_get_key_id(3)
NAME
gnutls_x509_crt_get_key_id - Return unique ID of public key's parameters
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 the 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.
RETURN VALUE
In case of failure a negative value will be returned, and 0 on success.
