   +--+xns/Certification/Certificate


An XNS digital certificate. This is an abstract base class from which all concrete certificate classes are derived. There are two types of concrete certificate classes. Instances of the first type, the attribute certificate class, reference the XNS object being certified. The second type includes all other certificate derivatives, each of which defines its own unique set of data being certified. Generally, attribute certificates certify other identity's data whereas all other certificate derivatives certify the data contained by the certificate.

Element Detail

NotifyOnRevocation

List of addresses of identities to notify upon revocation. If an identity requests notification of revocation via the +xns/Certification/VerifyCert message, the address of that identity will be added to this list. If the certificate is revoked by the CA, the CA will send the +xns/Certification/ConfirmRevocation message to each identity in this list.  

DataType: +xns/Core/IdentityAddressList
 

List: true
 


RevocationDate

Date of certificate revocation. If the certificate was revoked by the CA, it may contain this element specifying the date it was revoked. The presence of this element can be positive evidence of a revoked certificate, but the absence of this element is not positive evidence that the certificate is still valid. If positive evidence is needed, the message +xns/Certification/VerifyCert must be sent to the CA, the owner of this certificate.  

DataType: +xns/Core/XMLDateTime
 


RevocationReason

Reason for certificate revocation. If the certificate was revoked by the CA, it may contain this element specifying the reason the CA revoked the certificate.  

DataType: String
