Programming Forum and web based access to our favorite programming groups.Hi, I am building an application where I have a CA which hands out certificates to clients. Besides signing the public key, I need to add extensions which grant restricted access to clients when they use the certificates. I looked over the bunch of available extensions, but nothing matches my requirement. I am using the IAIK package which is very very similar to the JCE. I have 3 questions : * Is there some sample code somewhere which shows how to use the extensions? I can't seem to get a hang of them. * If I do extend the V3Extension class with a new class say MyExtensions, and then add this extension as non-critical to the issued certificate, will this extension ever be used during the automated setup of the SSL connection. I mean that does the JCE or JSSE actually care about newly added non-critical extensions? I already have my own TrustManager during SSL setup and hence I can act on the Extensions just fine. * Say I created a certificate and added a private extension (MyExtension). Now I want to transfer this over the network and hence I call cert.writeTo(socket.getOutputStream()); On the receiver side i will call temp_cert = new iaik.x509.X509Certificate ( ssl_socket.getInputStream()); Now is this new certificate going to have the correct extensions which i added? I appreciate pointers on these topics. Priyank
