Struct x509_certificate::certificate::MutableX509Certificate

pub struct MutableX509Certificate(_);

Provides a mutable wrapper to an X.509 certificate that was parsed from data.

This is like CapturedX509Certificate except it implements DerefMut, enabling you to modify the certificate while still being able to access the raw data the certificate is backed by. However, mutations are only performed against the parsed ASN.1 data structure, not the original data it was constructed with.

Methods from Deref<Target = X509Certificate>

pub fn serial_number_asn1(&self) -> &Integer

Obtain the serial number as the ASN.1 Integer type.

pub fn subject_name(&self) -> &Name

Obtain the certificate’s subject, as its ASN.1 Name type.

pub fn subject_common_name(&self) -> Option<String>

Obtain the Common Name (CN) attribute from the certificate’s subject, if set and decodable.

pub fn issuer_name(&self) -> &Name

Obtain the certificate’s issuer, as its ASN.1 Name type.

pub fn encode_der_to(&self, fh: &mut impl Write) -> Result<(), Error>

Encode the certificate data structure using DER encoding.

(This is the common ASN.1 encoding format for X.509 certificates.)

This always serializes the internal ASN.1 data structure. If you call this on a wrapper type that has retained a copy of the original data, this may emit different data than that copy.

pub fn encode_ber_to(&self, fh: &mut impl Write) -> Result<(), Error>

Encode the certificate data structure use BER encoding.

pub fn encode_der(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error>

Encode the internal ASN.1 data structures to DER.

pub fn encode_ber(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error>

Obtain the BER encoded representation of this certificate.

pub fn write_pem(&self, fh: &mut impl Write) -> Result<(), Error>

Encode the certificate to PEM.

This will write a human-readable string with ------ BEGIN CERTIFICATE ------- armoring. This is a very common method for encoding certificates.

The underlying binary data is DER encoded.

pub fn encode_pem(&self) -> Result<String, Error>

Encode the certificate to a PEM string.

pub fn key_algorithm(&self) -> Option<KeyAlgorithm>

Attempt to resolve a known KeyAlgorithm used by the private key associated with this certificate.

If this crate isn’t aware of the OID associated with the key algorithm, None is returned.

pub fn key_algorithm_oid(&self) -> &Oid

Obtain the OID of the private key’s algorithm.

pub fn signature_algorithm(&self) -> Option<SignatureAlgorithm>

Obtain the SignatureAlgorithm used to sign this certificate.

Returns None if we failed to resolve an instance (probably because we don’t recognize that algorithm).

pub fn signature_algorithm_oid(&self) -> &Oid

Obtain the OID of the signature algorithm used to sign this certificate.

pub fn public_key_data(&self) -> Bytes

Obtain the raw data constituting this certificate’s public key.

A copy of the data is returned.

pub fn compare_issuer(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

Compare 2 instances, sorting them so the issuer comes before the issued.

This function examines the Self::issuer_name and Self::subject_name fields of 2 certificates, attempting to sort them so the issuing certificate comes before the issued certificate.

This function performs a strict compare of the ASN.1 Name data. The assumption here is that the issuing certificate’s subject Name is identical to the issued’s issuer Name. This assumption is often true. But it likely isn’t always true, so this function may not produce reliable results.

pub fn subject_is_issuer(&self) -> bool

Whether the subject Name is also the issuer’s Name.

This might be a way of determining if a certificate is self-signed. But there can likely be false negatives due to differences in ASN.1 encoding of the underlying data. So we don’t claim this is a test for being self-signed.
