NAME
Crypt::PKCS10 - parse PKCS #10 certificate requests
SYNOPSIS
use Crypt::PKCS10;
my $decoded = Crypt::PKCS10->new( $csr );
my $cn = $decoded->commonName();
REQUIRES
Convert::ASN1
DESCRIPTION
Crypt::PKCS10 parses PKCS #10 requests and provides accessor methods to extract the requested data. First, the request will be parsed using the included ASN.1 definition. Common object identifiers will be translated to their corresponding names. Additionally, accessor methods allow to extract single data fields. Bit Strings like signatures will be printed in their hexadecimal representation.
METHODS
new
Constructor, creates a new object containing the parsed PKCS #10 request. It takes the request itself as an argument. PEM and DER encoding is supported.
use Crypt::PKCS10;
my $decoded = Crypt::PKCS10->new( $csr );
commonName
Returns the common name as stored in the request.
my $cn = $decoded->commonName();
organizationalUnitName
Returns the organizational unit name.
organizationName
Returns the organization name.
emailAddress
Returns the email address.
stateOrProvinceName
Returns the state or province name.
countryName
Returns the country name.
version
The version is stored as an Integer where 0 means 'v1'. Note, there is an offset by one!
pkAlgorithm
Returns the public key algorithm according to its object identifier.
subjectPublicKey
The public key will be returned in its hexadecimal representation
signatureAlgorithm
Returns the signature algorithm according to its object identifier.
signature
The signature will be returned in its hexadecimal representation
attributes
A request may contain a set of attributes. This method returns a reference to a hash consisting of all attributes.
%attributes = $decoded->attributes;
print Dumper(\%attributes);
certificateTemplate
CertificateTemplate is an attribute widely used by Windows certification authorities.
