Isn't that what you are looking for? Cryptography Reference
Or do you search an API Wrapper?
the easiest way is to use capicom, hitting the win capi api directly is painful.
once you've registered the com object and created your typelib unit from it..
open the appropriate store, and from there use the certificates() method..
var store: TStore; certificates: ICertificates; certificate: ICertificate2 store := TStore.Create(nil); store.Open(CAPICOM_CURRENT_USER_STORE, 'My', CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_MAXIMUM_ALLOWED or CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_INCLUDE_ARCHIVED or CAPICOM_STORE_OPEN_EXISTING_ONLY); certificates := store.Certificates; for i := 1 to certificates.count do begin certificate := IInterface(certificates.Item[i]) as ICertificate2; // work with the cert end; store.close(); store.Free;
capicom reference is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms995332.aspx
if you're ok with spending money, i've heard good things about PKIBlackbox from eldos.
There are a complex library fom ELDOS that add complete support for work with X509 Certificates and more; Read complete description here:
components for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support
See the Reference for the class ElX509CertificateClass here.
