Get a .pfx/.p12 Safe Bag Attribute

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates how to get the value of a private key or certificate safe bag attribute. Safe bag attributes are associated with a key or certificate. They are attributes stored in the .p12/.pfx alongside a key or certificate.

  // In the above JSON, we can see the .pfx contains one private key (a pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag) and two certificates (each in a certBag).
  // The certificates in a .pfx/.p12 are typicaly a single certificate with associated private key, along with the other certificates
  // in the chain of authentication.

  // We can see that the private key has 3 safebag attributes: localKeyId, keyContainerName, and msStorageProvider.
  // The certificate associated with the private key contains one safebag attribute: localKeyId.
  // Notice the localKeyId is the same.  The localKeyId helps associate the private key that corresponds to the given certificate.

  // Let's demonstrate the GetSafeBagAttr method:

  // Get each of the private key safebag attributes:
  var getPrivateKeyAttr = true;
  final privateKeyIdx = 0;
  print('---- private key safebag attributes ----');
  print(pfx.getSafeBagAttr(getPrivateKeyAttr, privateKeyIdx, 'localKeyId'));
  print(pfx.getSafeBagAttr(getPrivateKeyAttr, privateKeyIdx, 'keyContainerName'));
  print(pfx.getSafeBagAttr(getPrivateKeyAttr, privateKeyIdx, 'storageProvider'));

  // Get the localKeyId attribute for the 1st certificate.
  getPrivateKeyAttr = false;
  print('---- cert safebag attributes ----');
  print(pfx.getSafeBagAttr(getPrivateKeyAttr, 0, 'localKeyId'));
