(C# UWP/WinRT) Using the ASN.1 API to Create a Certificate Request (CSR)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.50 or greater.

This example demonstrates how to use the Chilkat ASN.1 API to create a certificate signing request. The purpose of this example is to show, in general, how to use the ASN.1 methods to create an ASN.1 document and save to DER. There may be more concise ways of creating a CSR rather than using the lower-level ASN.1 methods presented here. The hope is that this example will enable developers to create many different kinds of ASN.1 structures/documents for which no other means exist.

This example will create ASN.1 having this structure and content:

Chilkat for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

//  Starting in v9.5.0.49, all Chilkat classes can be unlocked at once at the beginning of a program
//  by calling UnlockBundle.  It requires a Bundle unlock code.
Chilkat.Global chilkatGlob = new Chilkat.Global();
bool success = chilkatGlob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial.");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(chilkatGlob.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  A new ASN.1 object is automatically a SEQUENCE.
//  Given that the CSR's root item is a SEQUENCE, we can use
//  this as the root of our CSR.
Chilkat.Asn asnRoot = new Chilkat.Asn();

//  Beneath the root, we have a SEQUENCE (the certificate request info),
//  another SEQUENCE (the algorithm identifier), and a BITSTRING (this signature data)

success = asnRoot.AppendSequence();
success = asnRoot.AppendSequence();
success = asnRoot.AppendBits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hex");
