key usage property of public key

 

key usage 是什么呢？如果不是项目中遇到这只突然跳出来的拦路虎，我想大概也不会去研究这个东西。
网上找到这样的解释：
The usage of these keys is configured by key usage and application policy. The key
usage configuration is a basic constraint on the broad types of operations that can be performed with this certificate. There are several options, depending on what purpose has been configured for this certificate, either Signature or Encryption.

有的证书会没有这个属性（就像这次客户给的证书就莫名其妙的没有这一项）。

 

用这类证书去加密PDF文件，LCDS 就不干活了,大概认为违反了证书发布者制定的策略.
但用Acrobat 去做是可以通过的.即使是用同一份证书.

有人遇到同样的事情吗? 除了提心吊胆的改产品, 能不能有别的方案呢?
