CERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN structure (wincrypt.h)
The CERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN structure contains an array of chain elements and a summary trust status for the chain that the array represents.
Syntax
typedef struct _CERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN {
DWORD cbSize;
CERT_TRUST_STATUS TrustStatus;
DWORD cElement;
PCERT_CHAIN_ELEMENT *rgpElement;
PCERT_TRUST_LIST_INFO pTrustListInfo;
BOOL fHasRevocationFreshnessTime;
DWORD dwRevocationFreshnessTime;
} CERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN, *PCERT_SIMPLE_CHAIN;
Members
cbSize
The size, in bytes, of this structure.
TrustStatus
A structure that indicates the trust status of the whole chain. The structure includes an error status code and an information status code. For information about status code values, see CERT_TRUST_STATUS.
cElement
The number of CERT_CHAIN_ELEMENT structures in the array.
rgpElement
An array of pointers to CERT_CHAIN_ELEMENT structures. rgpElement[0] is the end certificate chain element. rgpElement[cElement–1] is the self-signed "root" certificate element.
pTrustListInfo
A pointer to a CERT_TRUST_LIST_INFO structure that contains a pointer to a certificate trust list (CTL) connecting this chain to a next certificate chain. If the current chain is the final chain, pTrustListInfo is NULL.
fHasRevocationFreshnessTime
BOOL. If TRUE, dwRevocationFreshnessTime has been calculated.
dwRevocationFreshnessTime
The age of a certificate revocation list (CRL) in seconds, calculated as the CurrentTime minus the CRL's ThisUpdate time. This values is the largest time across all elements checked.
