Subject Key Identifier of x509 v3 certificate

843811Jul 14 2005 — edited Jul 20 2005

Hi everyone,

I have the following code I am using to extract the Subject Key Identifier from a X509 Certificate-

byte[] subjectKeyIdentifier =
cert.getExtensionValue("2.5.29.14");

This returns the DER encoded Octet string. However I want the octet string exclusing the encoding of the octet string prefix... How do I know the exact length of the prefix?

appreciate any help,
--Manveen
