WIN_CERTIFICATE info

The WIN_CERTIFICATE structure contains the type and data for a WinTrust certificate. You can use this generic data structure to store certificates for a variety of WinTrust verification operations. A certificate typically contains encrypted information that can be used to identify and verify the authenticity of a subject, such as a software publisher or an executable file.

    WORD        wCertificateType;

    BYTE        bCertificate[ANYSIZE_ARRAY];
