GENERALIZED_TIME Reference

The time value is represented in the Generalized Time format, defined in the X.680 standard, ASN.1. The GENERALIZED_TIME structure is used in the INVALID_DATE, OCSP_EVIDENCE, PKI_MSG_FIELDS, and PRIVATE_KEY_USAGE_PERIOD structures, and with C_DEREncodeGeneralizedTime() and C_BERDecodeGeneralizedTime().

For example, the following statements input the UTC time of 6 minutes, 27.000003 seconds after 9:00 P.M. on November 6, 1985 (the X.680 UTC time is 19851106210627.000003Z).

generalizedTime.day = 6;
generalizedTime.hour = 21;
generalizedTime.minute = 6;
generalizedTime.second = 27;
generalizedTime.microSecond = 3;
generalizedTime.timeZone = 0;

Field Documentation

unsigned short day

A two-digit number representing the day of the month. Value is from 01 to 31.

unsigned short hour

A two-digit number representing the hour of the day. Value is from 00 to 23.

unsigned short minute

A two-digit number representing the minute of the hour. Value is from 00to 59.

unsigned short month
