Description
Constructor
"new"
Standard Moose-style constructor.
Attributes
"pem"
A PEM-encoded string for the certificate.
This is usually the only attribute you want to pass to the constructor. Allow the others to be built
automatically.
"public_key"
A Web::ID::RSAKey object.
"fingerprint"
A string identifier for the certificate. It is the lower-cased hexadecimal SHA1 hash of the DER-
encoded certificate.
This is not used in WebID authentication, but may be used as an identifier for the certificate if you
need to keep it in a cache.
"not_before"
DateTime object indicating when the certificate started (or will start) to be valid.
"not_after"
DateTime object indicating when the certificate will cease (or has ceased) to be valid.
"subject_alt_names"
An arrayref containing a list of subject alt names (Web::ID::SAN objects) associated with the
certificate. These are sorted in the order they'll be tried for WebID authentication.
"san_factory"
A coderef used for building Web::ID::SAN objects. It's very unlikely you need to play with this - the
default is probably OK. But changing this is "supported" (in so much as any of this is supported).
The coderef is passed a hash (not hashref) along the lines of:
(
type => 'uniformResourceIdentifier',
value => 'http://example.com/id/alice',
)
Methods
"timely"
Checks "not_before" and "not_after" against the current system time to indicate whether the
certifixate is temporally valid. Returns a boolean.
You can optionally pass it a DateTime object to use instead of the current system time.
"exponent"
Delegated to the "public_key" attribute.
"modulus"
Delegated to the "public_key" attribute.

Web::ID::Certificate::Generator - augments this class to add the ability to generate new WebID
certificates.
Crypt::X509 provides a pure Perl X.509 certificate parser, and is used internally by this module.
Synopsis
my $cert = Web::ID::Certificate->new(pem => $pem_encoded_x509);
foreach (@{ $cert->subject_alt_names })
{
say "SAN: ", $_->type, " = ", $_->value;
}
