Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to open a user's personal certificate store and display information about each certificate in the store. This example uses the X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension class to display the information.

C#

using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;

public class CertSelect
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            X509Store store = new X509Store("MY", StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
            store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly | OpenFlags.OpenExistingOnly);

            X509Certificate2Collection collection = (X509Certificate2Collection)store.Certificates;
            for (int i = 0; i < collection.Count; i++)
            {
                foreach (X509Extension extension in collection[i].Extensions)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(extension.Oid.FriendlyName + "(" + extension.Oid.Value + ")");

                    if (extension.Oid.FriendlyName == "Key Usage")
                    {
                        X509KeyUsageExtension ext = (X509KeyUsageExtension)extension;
                        Console.WriteLine(ext.KeyUsages);
                    }

                    if (extension.Oid.FriendlyName == "Basic Constraints")
                    {
                        X509BasicConstraintsExtension ext = (X509BasicConstraintsExtension)extension;
                        Console.WriteLine(ext.CertificateAuthority);
                        Console.WriteLine(ext.HasPathLengthConstraint);
                        Console.WriteLine(ext.PathLengthConstraint);
                    }

                    if (extension.Oid.FriendlyName == "Subject Key Identifier")
                    {
                        X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension ext = (X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension)extension;
                        Console.WriteLine(ext.SubjectKeyIdentifier);
                    }

                    if (extension.Oid.FriendlyName == "Enhanced Key Usage")
                    {
                        X509EnhancedKeyUsageExtension ext = (X509EnhancedKeyUsageExtension)extension;
                        OidCollection oids = ext.EnhancedKeyUsages;
                        foreach (Oid oid in oids)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine(oid.FriendlyName + "(" + oid.Value + ")");
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            store.Close();
        }
        catch (CryptographicException)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Information could not be written out for this certificate.");
        }
    }
}

Remarks

There are several ways to identify a certificate: by the hash of the certificate, by the issuer and serial number, and by the subject key identifier (SKI). The SKI provides a unique identification for the certificate's subject and is often used when working with XML digital signing.

Constructors

X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension()	Initializes a new instance of the X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension class.
X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension(AsnEncodedData, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension class using encoded data and a value that identifies whether the extension is critical.
X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension(Byte[], Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension class using a byte array and a value that identifies whether the extension is critical.
X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension(PublicKey, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension class using a public key and a value indicating whether the extension is critical.
X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension(PublicKey, X509SubjectKeyIdentifierHashAlgorithm, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension class using a public key, a hash algorithm identifier, and a value indicating whether the extension is critical.
X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension(ReadOnlySpan<Byte>, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension class using a read-only span of bytes and a value that identifies whether the extension is critical.
X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension(String, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension class using a string and a value that identifies whether the extension is critical.

Properties

Critical	Gets a Boolean value indicating whether the extension is critical. (Inherited from X509Extension)
Oid	Gets or sets the Oid value for an AsnEncodedData object. (Inherited from AsnEncodedData)
RawData	Gets or sets the Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)-encoded data represented in a byte array. (Inherited from AsnEncodedData)
