Description

The TScCertificateExtension class is used for certificate extensions support. Certificate extensions represent information fields that contain an additional certificate information. Certificate extensions let extending abilities of the basic data standard of the X.509 certificate. Several fields of the extension contain an additional information about certificate identification. Other fields contain an additional information about certificate encryption abilities.

In its most basic form, an X.509 extension has an object identifier (Oid), a boolean value describing whether the extension is considered critical or not (Critical), and ASN-encoded data (RawData).

This class is used as a base class for other certificate extensions classes. Also it can be used to specify non-standard certificate extensions.
