"can be used as a signature for the whole client certificate"

Does anyone know how the signature is achieved? It looks like a MD5
hash...

Thanks keith

keith,

What do you mean how it is achieved? This is used in ASP.NET pages, and
is sent by the client if you have the server configured to require a client
certificate when accessing the server.

Hi Nicholas,

Sorry if I wasn't specific enough.

What I mean is that (if I remember correctly - I don't have access to
a machine where I can test right now) the return value is a 32
character string containing the characters from the set '0'..'9' and
'a'..'f'. Therefore my guess is that it's a MD5 hash.

If that assumption is correct, is the hash calculated from the binary
value of HttpClientCertificate.Certificate, or a combination of other
HttpClientCertificate properties? Or am I completely off base with how
the "signature for the whole client certificate" is derived?

Thanks!
