enum Vtk_ValidationMech {
VTK_VM_CRT = 1,
VTK_VM_OCSP,
VTK_VM_CRL
};

Description

This enumeration specifies the validation mechanism employed by the application to validate certificates. It is used in the Vtk_CtxtSetDefaultVa, Vtk_CtxtSetVaInfo, and Vtk_ValidationSetVaInfo functions.

Parameters

VTK_VM_CRT Certificate Revocation Trees (CRTs). High-performance validation method proprietary to ValiCert. This is the default.
VTK_VM_OCSP Online Certificate Status Protocol. This validation method requires a certificate recipient to check certificate status by sending a request to an OCSP server. This method provides up-to-date certificate status information, but requires network communication to the OCSP server.
VTK_VM_CRL Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). This validation method requires that the verifier download CRLs published by CA and confirm that certificate is not on the list. This method is provided to accommodate legacy CRL-based systems.
