PKCS11 Find Specific Certificate on Smart Card or USB Token

See more PKCS11 Examples

This example code shows how to find a particular certificate on a smart card or USB token.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.88 or later.

  //  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  //  The FindCert method can find a particular certificate in a number of different ways.
  //  I'll demonstrate some common ways..

  //  1) In many cases you'll be working with a smart card that contains one certificate that is to be used for 
  //  signing, and it is the certificate that is associated with the private key also stored on the smart card (or USB token).
  //  There may be other certificates on the card, but these are the issuer certificates in the chain of authentication.
  //  You're just interested in getting the certificate with the private key.
  //  You can do it like this:
  cert := TCert.Create;
  //  Pass the keyword "privateKey" in the 1st argument, and an empty string in the 2nd arg.
  //  This returns the 1st certificate that has a private key.
  success := pkcs11.FindCert('privateKey','',cert);
  if (success = True) then
    begin
      WriteLn('Cert with private key: ' + cert.SubjectCN);
    end
  else
    begin
      WriteLn('No certificates having a private key were found.');
    end;

  //  2) Find a certificate by the Subject Common Name
  success := pkcs11.FindCert('subjectCN','Chil application account (8c9be8e0-5544-4cd0-9062-290fbff353a7)',cert);
  if (success = True) then
    begin
      WriteLn('Found: ' + cert.SubjectCN);
    end
  else
    begin
      WriteLn('Not found: ' + cert.SubjectCN);
    end;

  //  3) Find a certificate by hex serial number
  success := pkcs11.FindCert('serial','5087bf1feda006af54a02f23a851104948acc26f',cert);
  if (success = True) then
    begin
      WriteLn('Found: ' + cert.SerialNumber);
    end
  else
    begin
      WriteLn('Not found: ' + cert.SerialNumber);
    end;

  //  4) Find a certificate by hex serial number and Issuer Common Name
  success := pkcs11.FindCert('serial:issuerCN','5087bf1feda006af54a02f23a851104948acc26f:Ibanity Production Third Party Application CA',cert);
  if (success = True) then
    begin
      WriteLn('Found: ' + cert.SubjectCN);
    end
  else
    begin
      WriteLn('Not found: ' + cert.SubjectCN);
    end;

  //  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  //  Revert to an unauthenticated session by calling Logout.
  success := pkcs11.Logout();
  if (success = False) then
    begin
      WriteLn(pkcs11.LastErrorText);
      success := pkcs11.CloseSession();
      Exit;
    end;

  //  When finished, close the session.
  //  It is important to close the session (memory leaks will occur if the session is not properly closed).
  success := pkcs11.CloseSession();
  if (success = False) then
