The WIN_CERTIFICATE structure contains the type and data for a WinTrust certificate. You can use this generic data structure to store certificates for a variety of WinTrust verification operations. A certificate typically contains encrypted information that can be used to identify and verify the authenticity of a subject, such as a software publisher or an executable file.
typedef struct _WIN_CERTIFICATE {
DWORD dwLength;
WORD wRevision;
WORD wCertificateType;
BYTE bCertificate[ANYSIZE_ARRAY];
} WIN_CERTIFICATE, *LPWIN_CERTIFICATE;
