Remote certificate presentation during last atomic operation
Property type
Read-only property
Syntax
Visual Basic
PublicProperty LastRemoteCertificate AsObject
Remarks
Secure communication using transport layer security is possible using DicomObjects. Ideally when using TLS, the remote entity’s certificate should be checked between making the association and passing any data, and this can be achieved when using a DicomConnection object. However, this is not possible using methods which establish the association and carry out the transaction in one method (atomic operations), such as those using a DicomQuery object with UseTLS=true, or the EchoSecure method. In all these cases, the remote entity’s certificate is stored into this property, for later checking by an application. It is of course updated every time an outgoing operation occurs, but as these are always synchronous, this causes no ambiguities.
