Expand description

X.509 version 3 extension

X.509 extensions allow adding attributes to objects like certificates or revocation lists.

Each extension in a certificate is designated as either critical or non-critical. A certificate using system MUST reject the certificate if it encounters a critical extension it does not recognize; however, a non-critical extension MAY be ignored if it is not recognized.

Each extension includes an OID and an ASN.1 structure. When an extension appears in a certificate, the OID appears as the field extnID and the corresponding ASN.1 encoded structure is the value of the octet string extnValue. A certificate MUST NOT include more than one instance of a particular extension.

When parsing an extension, the global extension structure (described above) is parsed, and the object is returned if it succeeds. During this step, it also attempts to parse the content of the extension, if known. The returned object has a X509Extension::parsed_extension() method. The returned enum is either a known extension, or the special value ParsedExtension::UnsupportedExtension.

Example

use x509_parser::extensions::{X509Extension, ParsedExtension};
use x509_parser::traits::FromDer;

static DER: &[u8] = &[
   0x30, 0x1D, 0x06, 0x03, 0x55, 0x1D, 0x0E, 0x04, 0x16, 0x04, 0x14, 0xA3, 0x05, 0x2F, 0x18,
   0x60, 0x50, 0xC2, 0x89, 0x0A, 0xDD, 0x2B, 0x21, 0x4F, 0xFF, 0x8E, 0x4E, 0xA8, 0x30, 0x31,
   0x36 ];

let res = X509Extension::from_der(DER);
match res {
    Ok((_rem, ext)) => {
        println!("Extension OID: {}", ext.oid);
        println!("  Critical: {}", ext.critical);
        let parsed_ext = ext.parsed_extension();
        assert!(!parsed_ext.unsupported());
        assert!(parsed_ext.error().is_none());
        if let ParsedExtension::SubjectKeyIdentifier(key_id) = parsed_ext {
            assert!(key_id.0.len() > 0);
        } else {
            panic!("Extension has wrong type");
        }
    },
    _ => panic!("x509 extension parsing failed: {:?}", res),
}

Fields

oid: Oid<'a>

OID describing the extension content

critical: bool

Boolean value describing the ‘critical’ attribute of the extension

An extension includes the boolean critical, with a default value of FALSE.

value: &'a [u8]

Raw content of the extension
