| Inheritance | X509Certificate  Object |
| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |

SecureSocket.connect(), the server's certificate
data is stored as an X509Certificate instance in the SecureSocket.serverCertificate
property.
Use this class to examine a server certificate after establishing a secure socket connection.
The properties in this class provide access to the most used attributes of an X.509 certificate.
If you must access other parts of a server certificate (for example, its extensions),
the complete certificate is available in the encoded property. The certificate
stored in the encoded property is DER-encoded.

encoded | property |
encoded:ByteArray [read-only] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 11, AIR 3 |
Provides the whole certificate in encoded form. Client code can decode this value
to process certificate extensions. X.509 certificate extensions are not represented
in the other properties in this class. Decoding the encoded property
is the only way to access a certificate's extensions.
