CertFindExtension function (wincrypt.h)

The CertFindExtension function finds the first extension in the CERT_EXTENSION array, as identified by its object identifier (OID). This function can be used in the processing of a decoded certificate. A CERT_INFO structure is derived from a decoded certificate. The CERT_INFO structure's rgExtension member is passed to CertFindExtension in the rgExtensions parameter. This function determines whether a particular extension is in the array, and if so, returns a pointer to it
