Method verify_certificate

TBSCertificate verify_certificate(string s, mapping authorities)

Description

Decodes a certificate, checks the signature. Returns the TBSCertificate structure, or 0 if decoding or verification failes.

Authorities is a mapping from (DER-encoded) names to a verifiers.

Note

This function allows self-signed certificates, and it doesn't check that names or extensions make sense.
