Functions

CryptCATAdminAcquireContext Acquires a handle to a catalog administrator context.
CryptCATAdminAcquireContext2 Acquires a handle to a catalog administrator context for a given hash algorithm and hash policy.
CryptCATAdminAddCatalog Adds a catalog to the catalog database.
CryptCATAdminCalcHashFromFileHandle Calculates the hash for a file.
CryptCATAdminCalcHashFromFileHandle2 Calculates the hash for a file by using the specified algorithm.
CryptCATAdminEnumCatalogFromHash Enumerates the catalogs that contain a specified hash.
CryptCATAdminReleaseCatalogContext Releases a handle to a catalog context previously returned by the CryptCATAdminAddCatalog function.
CryptCATAdminReleaseContext Releases the handle previously assigned by the CryptCATAdminAcquireContext function.
CryptCATAdminRemoveCatalog Deletes a catalog file and removes that catalog's entry from the Windows catalog database.
CryptCATAdminResolveCatalogPath Retrieves the fully qualified path of the specified catalog.
CryptCATCatalogInfoFromContext Retrieves catalog information from a specified catalog context.
CryptCATCDFClose Closes a catalog definition file (CDF) and frees the memory for the corresponding CRYPTCATCDF structure.
CryptCATCDFEnumCatAttributes Enumerates catalog-level attributes within the CatalogHeader section of a catalog definition file (CDF).
CryptCATCDFOpen Opens an existing catalog definition file (CDF) for reading and initializes a CRYPTCATCDF structure.
CryptCATClose Closes a catalog handle opened previously by the CryptCATOpen function.
CryptCATEnumerateAttr Enumerates the attributes associated with a member of a catalog. This function has no associated import library.
CryptCATEnumerateCatAttr Enumerates the attributes associated with a catalog. This function has no associated import library.
CryptCATEnumerateMember Enumerates the members of a catalog.
CryptCATGetAttrInfo Retrieves information about an attribute of a member of a catalog.
CryptCATGetMemberInfo Retrieves member information from the catalog's PKCS
CryptCATHandleFromStore Retrieves a catalog handle from memory.
CryptCATOpen Opens a catalog and returns a context handle to the open catalog.
CryptCATPersistStore Saves the information in the specified catalog store to an unsigned catalog file.
CryptCATPutAttrInfo Allocates memory for an attribute and adds it to a catalog member.
CryptCATPutCatAttrInfo Allocates memory for a catalog file attribute and adds it to the catalog.
CryptCATPutMemberInfo Allocates memory for a catalog member and adds it to the catalog.
CryptCATStoreFromHandle Retrieves a CRYPTCATSTORE structure from a catalog handle.
IsCatalogFile Retrieves a Boolean value that indicates whether the specified file is a catalog file.

Callback functions

PFN_CDF_PARSE_ERROR_CALLBACK Called for Catalog Definition Function errors while parsing a catalog definition file (CDF).

Structures

CATALOG_INFO The CATALOG_INFO structure contains the name of a catalog file. This structure is used by the CryptCATCatalogInfoFromContext function.
CRYPTCATATTRIBUTE The CRYPTCATATTRIBUTE structure defines a catalog attribute. This structure is used by the CryptCATEnumerateAttr and CryptCATEnumerateCatAttr functions.
CRYPTCATCDF Contains information used to create a signed catalog file (.cat) from a catalog definition file (CDF).
CRYPTCATMEMBER The CRYPTCATMEMBER structure provides information about a catalog member. This structure is used by the CryptCATGetMemberInfo and CryptCATEnumerateAttr functions.
CRYPTCATSTORE Represents a catalog file.
