Parsing of digital certificates from all Bulgarian vendors (and all other vendors compatible with [the common EU standard](http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/319400_319499/31941201/01.01.00_30/en_31941201v010100v.pdf)).

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require vakata/certificate
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// parse the certificate from the current request ($_SERVER['SSL_CLIENT_CERT'])
// on Apache this will work if SSLOptions +ExportCertData is set
$cert = \vakata\certificate\Certificate::fromRequest();

// you can then get various information from the certificate
echo $cert->getNaturalPerson()->getID(); // EGN or PID
if ($cert->isProfessional()) {
    echo $cert->getLegalPerson()->getBulstat(); // BULSTAT
}

// you can also create an instance from a x509 string
$certStr = new \vakata\certificate\Certificate("x509 formatted string");
// or using a static method
$certStr = new \vakata\certificate\Certificate::fromString("x509 formatted string");
// or from a file
$certFile = \vakata\certificate\Certificate::fromFile("/path/to/file.crt");
```

Certificates can also be validated (by checking expiration dates, CRLs and validating the certificate signature). Keep in mind signature verification is implemented using the OpenSSL PHP extension.
