# gnutls\_certificate\_get\_ours(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_certificate\_get\_ours - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/gnutls.h\>**

**const gnutls\_datum\_t \* gnutls\_certificate\_get\_ours(gnutls\_session\_t** *session***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_session\_t session

  is a gnutls session

## DESCRIPTION

Gets the certificate as sent to the peer in the last handshake. The certificate is in raw (DER) format.  No certificate list is being returned. Only the first certificate.

This function returns the certificate that was sent in the current handshake. In subsequent resumed sessions this function will return **NULL**. That differs from **gnutls\_certificate\_get\_peers()** which always returns the peer's certificate used in the original session.

## RETURNS

a pointer to a **gnutls\_datum\_t** containing our certificate, or **NULL** in case of an error or if no certificate was used.
