CRL_CONTEXT structure (wincrypt.h)

The CRL_CONTEXT structure contains both the encoded and decoded representations of a certificate revocation list (CRL). CRL contexts returned by any CryptoAPI function must be freed by calling the CertFreeCRLContext function.

Syntax

typedef struct _CRL_CONTEXT {
  DWORD      dwCertEncodingType;
  BYTE       *pbCrlEncoded;
  DWORD      cbCrlEncoded;
  PCRL_INFO  pCrlInfo;
  HCERTSTORE hCertStore;
} CRL_CONTEXT, *PCRL_CONTEXT;

Members

dwCertEncodingType

Type of encoding used. It is always acceptable to specify both the certificate and message encoding types by combining them with a bitwise-OR operation as shown in the following example:

X509_ASN_ENCODING | PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING

Currently defined encoding types are:

• X509_ASN_ENCODING
• PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING

pbCrlEncoded

A pointer to the encoded CRL information.

cbCrlEncoded

The size, in bytes, of the encoded CRL information.

pCrlInfo

A pointer to CRL_INFO structure containing the CRL information.

hCertStore

A handle to the certificate store.
