ParsedNameAttribute

A single decoded name attribute from an X.501 RelativeDistinguishedName.

RFC 5280 / X.501 call this structure an AttributeTypeAndValue.

interface ParsedNameAttribute {
	readonly oid: string;
	readonly key?: NameFieldKey;
	readonly valueTag: number;
	readonly value: string;
}

Properties

• readonly oid: string — Dotted-decimal OID of the attribute type (e.g. "2.5.4.3" for CN).
• readonly key?: NameFieldKey — Friendly key when the OID maps to a well-known field (CN, O, etc.).
• readonly valueTag: number — ASN.1 tag of the value encoding (UTF8String = 0x0c, PrintableString = 0x13, etc.).
• readonly value: string — Decoded string content of the attribute value.
