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 one of the flags from gnutls_keyid_flags_t
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.
