Extract Issuer / Subject from X509 certificate

[Ambarish Mitra]

Dear all,   I have an application, which reads a presented certificate in stream. For example, the following is the input:     -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----MIIFUjCC. .. .. .Fk71GQ==-----END CERTIFICATE-----     Given such an input, I have to extract the subject and the issuer (and possibly serial number). Is there any API for this? If anyone can at least give me the initial first steps, it will be helpful.     Best regards, Ambarish.
