22 * Identifiers for an asymmetric key ID. We have three ways of looking up a
23 * key derived from an X.509 certificate:
25 * (1) Serial Number & Issuer. Non-optional. This is the only valid way to
26 * map a PKCS#7 signature to an X.509 certificate.
28 * (2) Issuer & Subject Unique IDs. Optional. These were the original way to
29 * match X.509 certificates, but have fallen into disuse in favour of (3).
31 * (3) Auth & Subject Key Identifiers. Optional. SKIDs are only provided on
32 * CA keys that are intended to sign other keys, so don't appear in end
33 * user certificates unless forced.
35 * We could also support an PGP key identifier, which is just a SHA1 sum of the
36 * public key and certain parameters, but since we don't support PGP keys at
37 * the moment, we shall ignore those.
39 * What we actually do is provide a place where binary identifiers can be
40 * stashed and then compare against them when checking for an id match.
