Certificate Development

NOTE

The SDK of API version 9 or later must be used.

Using Certificates

When to Use

Typical operations involve the following:

1. Parse X.509 certificate data to generate a certificate object.
2. Obtain certificate information, such as the version and serial number of the certificate.
3. Obtains the serialized data of the certificate object.
4. Obtain the certificate public key.
5. Verify the certificate signature.
6. Verify the certificate validity period.

Available APIs

For details about the APIs, see Certificate.

The table below describes the APIs used in this guide.

How to Develop

Example: Parse the X.509 certificate data to create an X509Cert instance and call APIs to perform certificate operations.

import certFramework from '@ohos.security.cert';
import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';

// Certificate data, which is only an example. The certificate data varies with the service.
let certData = '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n' +

  for (let i = 0, j = str.length; i < j; i++) {
    arr.push(str.charCodeAt(i));
  }
  return new Uint8Array(arr);
}

// Certificate example
function certSample(): void {
  let encodingBlob: certFramework.EncodingBlob = {
    // Convert the certificate data string to a Uint8Array.
    data: stringToUint8Array(certData),
    // Certificate format. Only PEM and DER are supported. In this example, the certificate is in PEM format.
    encodingFormat: certFramework.EncodingFormat.FORMAT_PEM
  };

  // Create an X509Cert instance.

    // Obtain the certificate version.
    let version = x509Cert.getVersion();

    // Obtain the serialized data of the certificate.
    x509Cert.getEncoded((err, data) => {

        // Failed to obtain the serialized data of the certificate.
        console.error('getEncoded failed, errCode: ' + err.code + ', errMsg: ' + err.message);
      } else {
        // The serialized data of the certificate is successfully obtained.
        console.log('getEncoded success');
      }
    });

    // Obtain the public key object using the getPublicKey() of the upper-level certificate object or this (self-signed) certificate object.
    try {
      let pubKey = x509Cert.getPublicKey();

      // Verify the certificate signature.
      x509Cert.verify(pubKey, (err, data) => {
        if (err == null) {
          // The signature verification is successful.
          console.log('verify success');
        } else {
          // The signature verification failed.
          console.error('verify failed, errCode: ' + err.code + ', errMsg: ' + err.message);
        }
      });
    } catch (error) {

}

Operating Certificate Extensions

NOTE

API version 10 and SDK version 4.0.9 or later must be used.

When to Use

Typical operations involve the following:

1. Parse the certificate extension data to generate a certificate extension object.
2. Obtain certificate extension information, for example, obtaining the object identifiers (OIDs) of certificate extensions and obtaining specific data based on an OID.
3. Check whether a certificate is a CA certificate.

function stringToUint8Array(str: string): Uint8Array {
  let arr: Array<number> = [];
  for (let i = 0, j = str.length; i < j; i++) {
    arr.push(str.charCodeAt(i));
  }
  return new Uint8Array(arr);
}

    data: extData,
    // Certificate extension format. Currently, only the DER format is supported.
    encodingFormat: certFramework.EncodingFormat.FORMAT_DER
  };

  // Create a CerExtension instance.
  certFramework.createCertExtension(encodingBlob, (err, certExtension) => {
    if (err != null) {
      // The CerExtension instance fails to be created.
      console.error('createCertExtension failed, errCode: ' + err.code + ', errMsg: ' + err.message);
      return;
    }
    // A CerExtension instance is created.
    console.log('createCertExtension success');

    try {
      // Obtain the serialized data of the CerExtension instance.
      let encodedData = certExtension.getEncoded();

      // Obtain the OIDs of the certificate extensions.
      let oidList = certExtension.getOidList(certFramework.ExtensionOidType.EXTENSION_OID_TYPE_ALL);

      // Obtain the certificate extension information based on a OID.
      let oidData = '2.5.29.14';
      let oid: certFramework.DataBlob = {
        data: stringToUint8Array(oidData),
      }
      let entry = certExtension.getEntry(certFramework.ExtensionEntryType.EXTENSION_ENTRY_TYPE_ENTRY, oid);

      // Check whether the certificate is a CA certificate.
      let pathLen = certExtension.checkCA();
      console.log('test cert extension success');
    } catch (err) {
      let e: BusinessError = err as BusinessError;
      console.error('operation failed, message: ' + e.message + ' code: ' + e.code);
    }
  });
}

Using the CRL

When to Use

Typical operations involve the following:

1. Parse the X.509 CRL data to create an X509Crl instance.
2. Obtain the CRL information, such as the CRL version and type.
3. Obtain the serialized data of the CRL.
4. Check whether the certificate is revoked.
5. Verify the CRL signature.
6. Obtain the revoked certificates.

Verifying Certificate Chains

When to Use

You need to use the certificate chain validator in certificate chain verification.

Available APIs

For details about the APIs, see Certificate.

The table below describes the APIs used in this guide.

How to Develop

Example: Create a CertChainValidator instance and verify the certificate chain.

import certFramework from '@ohos.security.cert';

// CA certificate data, which is only an example. The CA certificate data varies with the service.
let caCertData = '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n' +
  '...\n' +
  '...\n' +
  '...\n' +
  '-----END CERTIFICATE-----\n';

// End-entity certificate data, which is only an example. The certificate data varies with the service.
let secondCaCertData = '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n' +
  '...\n' +
  '...\n' +
  '...\n' +
  '-----END CERTIFICATE-----\n';

// Convert the certificate data form a string to a Uint8Array..
function stringToUint8Array(str: string): Uint8Array {
  let arr: Array<number> = [];
  for (let i = 0, j = str.length; i < j; i++) {
    arr.push(str.charCodeAt(i));
  }
  return new Uint8Array(arr);
}

// Certificate chain validator example. In this example, a two-level certificate chain is verified.
function certChainValidatorSample(): void {
  // Certificate chain validator algorithm. Currently, only PKIX is supported.
  let algorithm = 'PKIX';

  // Create a CertChainValidator instance.
  let validator = certFramework.createCertChainValidator(algorithm);

  // CA certificate data.
  let uint8ArrayOfCaCertData = stringToUint8Array(caCertData);

  // Length of the CA certificate data.
  let uint8ArrayOfCaCertDataLen = new Uint8Array(new Uint16Array([uint8ArrayOfCaCertData.byteLength]).buffer);

  // End-entity certificate data.
  let uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertData = stringToUint8Array(secondCaCertData);

  // Length of the end-entity certificate data.
  let uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertDataLen = new Uint8Array(new Uint16Array([uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertData.byteLength]).buffer);

  // Certificate chain binary data: end-entity certificate data length + end-entity certificate data + CA certificate data length + CA certificate data (in L-V format).
  let encodingData = new Uint8Array(uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertDataLen.length + uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertData.length +
  uint8ArrayOfCaCertDataLen.length + uint8ArrayOfCaCertData.length);
  for (let i = 0; i < uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertDataLen.length; i++) {
    encodingData[i] = uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertDataLen[i];
  }
  for (let i = 0; i < uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertData.length; i++) {
    encodingData[uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertDataLen.length + i] = uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertData[i];
  }
  for (let i = 0; i < uint8ArrayOfCaCertDataLen.length; i++) {
    encodingData[uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertDataLen.length + uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertData.length + i] = uint8ArrayOfCaCertDataLen[i];
  }
  for (let i = 0; i < uint8ArrayOfCaCertData.length; i++) {
    encodingData[uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertDataLen.length + uint8ArrayOf2ndCaCertData.length +
    uint8ArrayOfCaCertDataLen.length + i] = uint8ArrayOfCaCertData[i];
  }

  let certChainData: certFramework.CertChainData = {
    // Uint8Array type: L-V format (certificate data length-certificate data)
    data: encodingData,
    // Number of certificates. It is 2 in this example.
    count: 2,
    // Certificate format. Only PEM and DER are supported. In this example, the certificate is in PEM format.
    encodingFormat: certFramework.EncodingFormat.FORMAT_PEM
  };

  // Verify the certificate chain.
  validator.validate(certChainData, (err, data) => {
    if (err != null) {
      // The operation fails.
      console.error('validate failed, errCode: ' + err.code + ', errMsg: ' + err.message);
    } else {
      // The operation is successful.
      console.log('validate success');
    }
  });
}

Managing Revoked Certificates

When to Use

Typical operations involve the following:

1. Obtain a revoked certificate instance.
2. Obtain information, such as the serial number, issuer, and certificate revocation date, of the revoked certificate.
3. Obtain the serialized data of the revoked certificate.

Available APIs

For details about the APIs, see Certificate.

The table below describes the APIs used in this guide.

How to Develop

Example: Obtain a revoked certificate instance and call the APIs.

import certFramework from '@ohos.security.cert';
import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';

// Convert the certificate data form a string to a Uint8Array.
function stringToUint8Array(str: string): Uint8Array {
  let arr: Array<number> = [];
  for (let i = 0, j = str.length; i < j; i++) {
    arr.push(str.charCodeAt(i));
  }
  return new Uint8Array(arr);
}

// Example of a revoked certificate.

  certFramework.createX509Crl(encodingBlob, (err, x509Crl) => {
    if (err != null) {

      console.error('createX509Crl failed, errCode: ' + err.code + ', errMsg: ' + err.message);
      return;

      let crlEntry = x509Crl.getRevokedCert(serialNumber);

      // Obtain the serial number of the revoked certificate.
      serialNumber = crlEntry.getSerialNumber();

      // Obtain the revocation date of the revoked certificate.
      let date = crlEntry.getRevocationDate();
