My scenario is we have one program (exe) that will start other programs if found in a particular folder. I want to ensure it only ever starts programs which are signed with our Corporate certificate (Verisign approved etc). Essentially then it will only start the programs with the same certificate as itself. I don't want to ship the certificate itself. I've been searching the web and the system namespace and haven't found a clear example that reads the certificate data from a file and also validates it, and can check against another file. The closest I've found is Signtool and and having this

I have a rootcert file and I dont know whether it is in .pem format or not, how do I check that it is in .pem format? Anomie A .pem format certificate will most likely be ASCII-readable. It will have a line -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- , followed by base64-encoded data, followed by a line -----END CERTIFICATE----- . There may be other lines before or after.

Here are some commands that will let you output the contents

I have an asp.net application and I need to authenticate users using X509 certificates. That is, the user must install a certificate issued by me so that he can browse my website and I can identify which user is, by this certificate. I have already configured SSL on IIS, but it's not what I'm looking for right now, and I don't know where to start. How can I achieve this in asp.net c#? To create a secure authentication mechanism you would use both client certificates and username / password. The reason is that a certificate is something that can be stolen (copied) but a password is something

I am having client Certificate "A" which is signed by the CA1 certificate. CA1 certificate is signed by the Root certificate. Now I have the CA1 certificate (trusted ) and received Client certificate (non trusted ) . during validation I need to verify the trust path of the client certificate using CA1 (trusted) only .. I dont have /receive the Root certificate. Is it possible to do this validation ? I am using Openssl 1.0.0g version library. If any one know how to do that please share with me . Since, you have given the Tag, ssl-certificate , I assume that you need such a validation during an

Can i get installed certificates on my system through java something like this Eg. Certificate[] certificate = someClass.getsystemCertificates(); Is there is some api available for this???? You can use the keytool command to get the list of certificates in your cacerts file, which is the collection of approved certificates that Java comes with. The default password for this keystore is "changeit". keytool -list -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit This depends on the system. Windows has centralized certificate storage, while other platforms don't (at least, no

I have an installation program created using the limited version of Install Shield within Visual Studio 2012. I have a digital certificate that I want to add to the installation program. I'd like to use the SingleImage feature of Install Shield to create and deliver a single installation file (e.g. setup.exe) to my customers. It seems, however, that I must attach the digital certificate to an msi file, which is embedded within setup.exe, by Install Shield. I have found that placing the digital certificate on setup.exe results in telling the user that the publisher is unknown, when running the

We are developing a web page that use https protocol (two way). We need to access to the private certificates of the user, because we need sign documents by the user's certificate, so we developed a Java application that communicate with the web by a websoket. This application will call with a protocol call since the web (same that when you open a pdf on Acrobat Reader from a browser). So we have to be sure that our web is calling to the native application(only our web). We want develop a system to be sure of that. Our idea: Send a public key, a signed token by the server's private certificate
