KEYS: X.509: Parse Key Usage
Parse the X.509 Key Usage. The key usage extension defines the purpose of the key contained in the certificate. id-ce-keyUsage OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ce 15 } KeyUsage ::= BIT STRING { digitalSignature (0), contentCommitment (1), keyEncipherment (2), dataEncipherment (3), keyAgreement (4), keyCertSign (5), cRLSign (6), encipherOnly (7), decipherOnly (8) } If the keyCertSign or digitalSignature is set, store it in the public_key structure. Having the purpose of the key being stored during parsing, allows enforcement on the usage field in the future. This will be used in a follow on patch that requires knowing the certificate key usage type.
