DESCRIPTION

Signed Certificate Timestamps (SCTs) are defined by Section 3.2. They constitute a promise by a Certificate Transparency () log to publicly record a certificate. By cryptographically verifying that a log did indeed issue an some confidence can be gained that the certificate is publicly known.

An internal representation of an

can be created in one of two ways. The first option is to create a blank using SCT_new(), and then populate it using:

*

SCT_set_version() to set the

SCT

version.

Only

SCT_VERSION_V1

is currently supported.

*

SCT_set_log_entry_type() to set the type of certificate the

SCT

was issued for:

CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_X509

for a normal certificate.

CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_PRECERT

for a pre-certificate.

*

SCT_set0_log_id() or SCT_set1_log_id() to set the LogID of the

CT

log that the

SCT

came from.

The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy. See

RFC 6962,

Section 3.2 for the definition of LogID.

*

SCT_set_timestamp() to set the time the

SCT

was issued (epoch time in milliseconds).

*

SCT_set_signature_nid() to set the

NID

of the signature.

*

SCT_set0_signature() or SCT_set1_signature() to set the raw signature value.

The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy.

*

SCT_set0_extensions() or SCT_set1_extensions to provide

SCT

extensions.

The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy.

Alternatively, the

can be pre-populated from the following data using SCT_new_from_base64():

*

The

SCT

version (only

SCT_VERSION_V1

is currently supported).

*

The LogID (see

RFC 6962,

Section 3.2), base64 encoded.

*

The type of certificate the

SCT

was issued for:

CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_X509

for a normal certificate.

CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_PRECERT

for a pre-certificate.

*

The time that the

SCT

was issued (epoch time in milliseconds).

*

The

SCT

extensions, base64 encoded.

*

The

SCT

signature, base64 encoded.

SCT_set_source() can be used to record where the

was found ( extension, X.509 certificate extension or response). This is not required for verifying the

NOTES

Some of the setters return int, instead of void. These will all return 1 on success, 0 on failure. They will not make changes on failure.

All of the setters will reset the validation status of the

to (see SCT_validate(3)).

SCT_set_source() will call SCT_set_log_entry_type() if the type of certificate the

was issued for can be inferred from where the was found. For example, an found in an X.509 extension must have been issued for a pre- certificate.

SCT_set_source() will not refuse unknown values.

RETURN VALUES

SCT_set_version() returns 1 if the specified version is supported, 0 otherwise.

SCT_set_log_entry_type() returns 1 if the specified log entry type is supported, 0 otherwise.

SCT_set0_log_id() and SCT_set1_log_id return 1 if the specified LogID is a valid

hash, 0 otherwise. Additionally, SCT_set1_log_id returns 0 if malloc fails.

SCT_set_signature_nid returns 1 if the specified

is supported, 0 otherwise.

SCT_set1_extensions and SCT_set1_signature return 1 if the supplied buffer is copied successfully, 0 otherwise (i.e. if malloc fails).

SCT_set_source returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
