This structure indicates a valid time span for the private key corresponding to a certificate's public key.

CERT_PUBLIC_KEY_INFO

This structure contains a public key and its algorithm.

CERT_RDN

This structure contains a relative distinguished name (RDN) consisting of an array of CERT_RDN_ATTR structures.

CERT_RDN_ATTR

This structure contains a single attribute of a relative distinguished name (RDN).

CERT_REQUEST_INFO

This structure contains information for a certificate request.

CERT_SIGNED_CONTENT_INFO

This structure contains encoded content to be signed and a BLOB (Cryptography) structure to hold the signature.

This structure is used to delete an unauthenticated attribute of a signer of a signed message.

CMSG_CTRL_KEY_AGREE_DECRYPT_PARA

This structure contains information about a key agreement recipient.

CMSG_CTRL_VERIFY_SIGNATURE_EX_PARA

This structure contains information that is used to verify a message signature. It contains the signer index and signer public key.
