Members

Member	Value	Description
Authenticode	1	PKI file format with an Authenticode certificate. Remarks: Corresponds to System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType.Authenticode. A variant of PKCS #7.
Cert	2	Same PKI file format as Der, but implies a different file extension. Remarks: Common file extensions: .cer. Binary format. Contains single certificate. No private key.
Der	3	The DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) file format for PKI. Same as Cert, but implies a different file extension. Remarks: Common file extensions: .der. Binary format. Contains single certificate. No private key.
None	0	No PKI file format.
Pem	4	The PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) file format for PKI. Remarks: Common file extensions: .ca-bundle, .cer, .crt, .key, .pem. Text format, Base64 with headers&footers. Contains single certificate, or more certificates in a path. Optional private key.
Pfx	5	The PFX file format for PKI. Currently the same as Pkcs12, but implies a different file extension. Remarks: Corresponds to System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType.Pfx or System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType.Pkcs12. Common file extensions: .pfx, .p12. Binary format. Contains all certificates in a path. Can have private key.
Pkcs12	6	The PKCS #12 file format for PKI. Currently the same as Pfx, but implies a different file extension. Remarks: Corresponds to System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType.Pfx or System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType.Pkcs12. Common file extensions: .pfx, .p12. Binary format. Contains all certificates in a path. Can have private key.
Pkcs7	7	The PKCS #7 file format for PKI. Remarks: Corresponds to System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType.Pkcs7. Common file extensions: .p7b, .p7c, .p7s. Text format, Base64 with headers&footers. No private key. Contains certificates or CRLs. Our file format name: PKCS7.
SerializedCert	8	PKI file format with a single serialized certificate. Remarks: Corresponds to System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType.SerializedCert.
SerializedStore	9	PKI file format with a serialized store. Remarks: Corresponds to System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509ContentType.SerializedStore.
