Certificate Services Library

The Certificate Services library is an implementation of much of the Windows Certificate API; some of its key features are:

• support of all methods found in the X509Certificate class and the WSE X509Certificate class.

• loading and saving DER encoded certificates (optionally Base64 encoded), PKCS#7 signed messages, serialized certificate stores, PEM files and Private Information Exchange (PFX or PKCS#12) files.

• loading Private Key (PVK) files

• building a certificate chain from a given certificate and verifying that chain

• loading certificates from certificate stores.

• encrypting and decrypting data with the public and private key of a certificate

• converting back and forth between the Mentalis.org Certificate class and the Microsoft X509Certificate class.

The Certificate Services library is now a part of the Mentalis.org Security Library. You can download the Mentalis.org Security Library over here.
