Get Certificates from .p12 / .pfx

See more PFX/P12 Examples

A PKCS12 (.p12 / .pfx) is a container for holding a certificate, its private key, and the certs in the chain of authentication up to and possibly including the root CA cert. A .p12 is not required to contain certain things. It will contain whatever the creator of the .p12 decided to include. It's possible to contain just a private key, just a cert, many certs without private keys, or many certs with many private keys. Usually, a .p12 contains one certificate, its associated private key, and certificates in the chain of authentication. Swift

        print("Self-Signed: \(cert.selfSigned)")

        // If this certificate is not the root (self-signed), then get the issuer.

    // Usually, the user certificate is at index 0, its issuer is at index 1, etc. until we get to the root certificate.
