key: holds a private key

dig: The message digest to use, i.e., GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256

flags: must be 0

This function will sign the certificate request with a private key. This must be the same key as the one used in gnutls_x509_crt_set_key() since a certificate request is self signed.

This must be the last step in a certificate request generation since all the previously set parameters are now signed.

A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed request will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until it is exported an re-imported.

After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN , and in that case, a suitable but reasonable for the key algorithm will be selected.

Returns: GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code. GNUTLS_E_ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND is returned if you didn’t set all information in the certificate request (e.g., the version using gnutls_x509_crq_set_version() ).

hostname: A null terminated string that contains a DNS name

flags: gnutls_certificate_verify_flags

This function will check if the given certificate’s subject matches the given hostname. This is a basic implementation of the matching described in RFC6125, and takes into account wildcards, and the DNSName/IPAddress subject alternative name PKIX extension.

IPv4 addresses are accepted by this function in the dotted-decimal format (e.g, ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd), and IPv6 addresses in the hexadecimal x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x format. For them the IPAddress subject alternative name extension is consulted. Previous versions to 3.6.0 of GnuTLS in case of a non-match would consult (in a non-standard extension) the DNSname and CN fields. This is no longer the case.

When the flag GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_WILDCARDS is specified no wildcards are considered. Otherwise they are only considered if the domain name consists of three components or more, and the wildcard starts at the leftmost position. When the flag GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_IP_MATCHES is specified, the input will be treated as a DNS name, and matching of textual IP addresses against the IPAddress part of the alternative name will not be allowed.

The function gnutls_x509_crt_check_ip() is available for matching IP addresses.

Returns: non-zero for a successful match, and zero on failure.

Since: 3.3.0

gnutls_x509_crt_check_ip

cert: is the certificate to be checked

issuer: is the certificate of a possible issuer

This function will check if the given certificate was issued by the given issuer. It checks the DN fields and the authority key identifier and subject key identifier fields match.

If the same certificate is provided at the cert and issuer fields, it will check whether the certificate is self-signed.

Returns: It will return true (1) if the given certificate is issued by the given issuer, and false (0) if not.

Function: int gnutls_x509_crt_get_authority_info_access (gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, unsigned int seq, int what, gnutls_datum_t * data, unsigned int * critical)

crt: Holds the certificate

seq: specifies the sequence number of the access descriptor (0 for the first one, 1 for the second etc.)

what: what data to get, a gnutls_info_access_what_t type.

data: output data to be freed with gnutls_free() .

critical: pointer to output integer that is set to non-zero if the extension is marked as critical (may be NULL )

Note that a simpler API to access the authority info data is provided by gnutls_x509_aia_get() and gnutls_x509_ext_import_aia() .

This function extracts the Authority Information Access (AIA) extension, see RFC 5280 section 4.2.2.1 for more information. The AIA extension holds a sequence of AccessDescription (AD) data.

The seq input parameter is used to indicate which member of the sequence the caller is interested in. The first member is 0, the second member 1 and so on. When the seq value is out of bounds, GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned.

The type of data returned in data is specified via what which should be gnutls_info_access_what_t values.

If what is GNUTLS_IA_ACCESSMETHOD_OID then data will hold the accessMethod OID (e.g., "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1").

If what is GNUTLS_IA_ACCESSLOCATION_GENERALNAME_TYPE , data will hold the accessLocation GeneralName type (e.g., "uniformResourceIdentifier").

If what is GNUTLS_IA_URI , data will hold the accessLocation URI data. Requesting this what value leads to an error if the accessLocation is not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type.

If what is GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI , data will hold the OCSP URI. Requesting this what value leads to an error if the accessMethod is not 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1 aka OCSP, or if accessLocation is not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type. In that case GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM will be returned, and seq should be increased and this function called again.

If what is GNUTLS_IA_CAISSUERS_URI , data will hold the caIssuers URI. Requesting this what value leads to an error if the accessMethod is not 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.2 aka caIssuers, or if accessLocation is not of the "uniformResourceIdentifier" type. In that case handle as in GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI .

More what values may be allocated in the future as needed.

If data is NULL, the function does the same without storing the output data, that is, it will set critical and do error checking as usual.

The value of the critical flag is returned in * critical . Supply a NULL critical if you want the function to make sure the extension is non-critical, as required by RFC 5280.

Returns: GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST on invalid crt , GNUTLS_E_CONSTRAINT_ERROR if the extension is incorrectly marked as critical (use a non-NULL critical to override), GNUTLS_E_UNKNOWN_ALGORITHM if the requested OID does not match (e.g., when using GNUTLS_IA_OCSP_URI ), otherwise a negative error code.

issuer: is the certificate of the certificate issuer

issuer_key: holds the issuer’s private key

This function is the same a gnutls_x509_crt_sign2() with no flags, and an appropriate hash algorithm. The hash algorithm used may vary between versions of GnuTLS, and it is tied to the security level of the issuer’s public key.

Returns: On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

gnutls_x509_crt_sign2

This function will sign the certificate with the issuer’s private key, and will copy the issuer’s information into the certificate.

This must be the last step in a certificate generation since all the previously set parameters are now signed.

A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed certificate will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until it is exported an re-imported.

After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN , and in that case, a suitable but reasonable for the key algorithm will be selected.

This function will generate a random private key. Note that this function must be called on an initialized private key.

The flag GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_PROVABLE instructs the key generation process to use algorithms like Shawe-Taylor (from FIPS PUB186-4) which generate provable parameters out of a seed for RSA and DSA keys. On DSA keys the PQG parameters are generated using the seed, while on RSA the two primes. To specify an explicit seed (by default a random seed is used), use the data with a GNUTLS_KEYGEN_SEED type.

Note that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve can be substituted in the place of the bits parameter using the GNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS() macro.

To export the generated keys in memory or in files it is recommended to use the PKCS8 form as it can handle all key types, and can store additional parameters such as the seed, in case of provable RSA or DSA keys. Generated keys can be exported in memory using gnutls_privkey_export_x509() , and then with gnutls_x509_privkey_export2_pkcs8() .

If key generation is part of your application, avoid setting the number of bits directly, and instead use gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() . That way the generated keys will adapt to the security levels of the underlying GnuTLS library.

gnutls_x509_trust_list_set_getissuer_function

Function: void gnutls_x509_trust_list_set_getissuer_function (gnutls_x509_trust_list_t tlist, gnutls_x509_trust_list_getissuer_function * func)

tlist: is a gnutls_x509_trust_list_t type.

func: is the callback function

This function sets a callback to be called when the peer’s certificate chain is incomplete due a missing intermediate certificate. The callback may provide the missing certificate for use during verification.

The callback’s function prototype is defined in gnutls/x509.h as:

int (*callback)(gnutls_x509_trust_list_t list, const gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, gnutls_x509_crt_t **issuers, unsigned int *issuers_size);

If the callback function is provided then gnutls will call it during the certificate verification procedure. The callback may wish to use gnutls_x509_crt_get_authority_info_access() to get a URI from which to attempt to download the missing issuer certificate, if available.

On a successful call, the callback shall set ’*issuers’ and ’*issuers_size’ even if the result is empty; in that case ’*issuers’ will point to NULL and ’*issuers_size’ will be 0. Otherwise, the ’*issuers’ array shall be allocated using gnutls_x509_crt_list_import2() . The ownership of both the array and the elements is transferred to the caller and thus the application does not need to maintain the memory after the call.

The callback function should return 0 if the attempt to retrieve the issuer certificates for ’crt’ succeeded, or non-zero to indicate any error occurred during the attempt. In the latter case, ’*issuers’ and ’*issuers_size’ are not set.

Since: 3.7.0

gnutls_x509_trust_list_set_ptr

Function: void gnutls_x509_trust_list_set_ptr (gnutls_x509_trust_list_t tlist, void * ptr)

This function will set (associate) the user given pointer ptr to the tlist structure. This pointer can be accessed with gnutls_x509_trust_list_get_ptr() . Useful in the callback function gnutls_x509_trust_list_set_getissuer_function.

Since: 3.7.0

gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_crt

Function: int gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_crt (gnutls_x509_trust_list_t list, gnutls_x509_crt_t * cert_list, unsigned int cert_list_size, unsigned int flags, unsigned int * voutput, gnutls_verify_output_function func)

This function will try to verify the given certificate and return its status. The voutput parameter will hold an OR’ed sequence of gnutls_certificate_status_t flags.

The details of the verification are the same as in gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_crt2() .

Returns: On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

Since: 3.0

gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_crt2

Function: int gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_crt2 (gnutls_x509_trust_list_t list, gnutls_x509_crt_t * cert_list, unsigned int cert_list_size, gnutls_typed_vdata_st * data, unsigned int elements, unsigned int flags, unsigned int * voutput, gnutls_verify_output_function func)

list: The list

cert_list: is the certificate list to be verified

cert_list_size: is the certificate list size

data: an array of typed data

elements: the number of data elements

flags: Flags that may be used to change the verification algorithm. Use OR of the gnutls_certificate_verify_flags enumerations.

voutput: will hold the certificate verification output.

func: If non-null will be called on each chain element verification with the output.

This function will attempt to verify the given certificate chain and return its status. The voutput parameter will hold an OR’ed sequence of gnutls_certificate_status_t flags.

When a certificate chain of cert_list_size with more than one certificates is provided, the verification status will apply to the first certificate in the chain that failed verification. The verification process starts from the end of the chain (from CA to end certificate). The first certificate in the chain must be the end-certificate while the rest of the members may be sorted or not.

Additionally a certificate verification profile can be specified from the ones in gnutls_certificate_verification_profiles_t by ORing the result of GNUTLS_PROFILE_TO_VFLAGS() to the verification flags.

Additional verification parameters are possible via the data types; the acceptable types are GNUTLS_DT_DNS_HOSTNAME , GNUTLS_DT_IP_ADDRESS and GNUTLS_DT_KEY_PURPOSE_OID . The former accepts as data a null-terminated hostname, and the latter a null-terminated object identifier (e.g., GNUTLS_KP_TLS_WWW_SERVER ). If a DNS hostname is provided then this function will compare the hostname in the end certificate against the given. If names do not match the GNUTLS_CERT_UNEXPECTED_OWNER status flag will be set. In addition it will consider certificates provided with gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_named_crt() .

If a key purpose OID is provided and the end-certificate contains the extended key usage PKIX extension, it will be required to match the provided OID or be marked for any purpose, otherwise verification will fail with GNUTLS_CERT_PURPOSE_MISMATCH status.

Returns: On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. Note that verification failure will not result to an error code, only voutput will be updated.

Since: 3.3.8

name_size: is the certificate’s name size

flags: Flags that may be used to change the verification algorithm. Use OR of the gnutls_certificate_verify_flags enumerations.

voutput: will hold the certificate verification output.

func: If non-null will be called on each chain element verification with the output.

This function will try to find a certificate that is associated with the provided name –see gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_named_crt() . If a match is found the certificate is considered valid. In addition to that this function will also check CRLs. The voutput parameter will hold an OR’ed sequence of gnutls_certificate_status_t flags.

Additionally a certificate verification profile can be specified from the ones in gnutls_certificate_verification_profiles_t by ORing the result of GNUTLS_PROFILE_TO_VFLAGS() to the verification flags.

Returns: On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

Since: 3.0.0
