TdxX509Certificate Class

An X.509 certificate.

Declaration

TdxX509Certificate = class(
    TObject

Remarks

X.509 is a cryptographic standard that defines the format of public key certificates. X.509 certificates are used in many Internet protocols and electronic signatures. An X.509 certificate contains a public key and an identity (an organization or an individual). A certificate owner can digitally sign documents by the certificate’s private key, so the other party can rely on the public key to validate signed documents.
