Types and Values

Description

Functions

gnutls_certificate_set_key ()

int
gnutls_certificate_set_key (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res,
                            const char **names,
                            int names_size,
                            gnutls_pcert_st *pcert_list,
                            int pcert_list_size,
                            gnutls_privkey_t key);

This function sets a certificate/private key pair in the gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type. This function may be called more than once, in case multiple keys/certificates exist for the server. For clients that want to send more than their own end- entity certificate (e.g., also an intermediate CA cert), the full certificate chain must be provided in pcert_list .

Note that the key and the elements of pcert_list will become part of the credentials structure and must not be deallocated. They will be automatically deallocated when the res structure is deinitialized.

If that function fails to load the res structure is at an undefined state, it must not be reused to load other keys or certificates.

Note that, this function by default returns zero on success and a negative value on error. Since 3.5.6, when the flag GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_API_V2 is set using gnutls_certificate_set_flags() it returns an index (greater or equal to zero). That index can be used to other functions to refer to the added key-pair.

Parameters

res

is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type.

 

names

is an array of DNS name of the certificate (NULL if none)

 

names_size

holds the size of the names list

 

pcert_list

contains a certificate list (path) for the specified private key

 

pcert_list_size

holds the size of the certificate list

 

key

is a gnutls_privkey_t key

 

Returns

On success this functions returns zero, and otherwise a negative value on error (see above for modifying that behavior).

Since: 3.0


gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function2 ()

void
gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function2
                               (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t cred,
                                gnutls_certificate_retrieve_function2 *func);

This function sets a callback to be called in order to retrieve the certificate to be used in the handshake. The callback will take control only if a certificate is requested by the peer.

The callback's function prototype is: int (*callback)(gnutls_session_t, const gnutls_datum_t* req_ca_dn, int nreqs, const gnutls_pk_algorithm_t* pk_algos, int pk_algos_length, gnutls_pcert_st** pcert, unsigned int *pcert_length, gnutls_privkey_t * pkey);

req_ca_dn is only used in X.509 certificates. Contains a list with the CA names that the server considers trusted. This is a hint and typically the client should send a certificate that is signed by one of these CAs. These names, when available, are DER encoded. To get a more meaningful value use the function gnutls_x509_rdn_get().

pk_algos contains a list with server's acceptable signature algorithms. The certificate returned should support the server's given algorithms.

pcert should contain a single certificate and public key or a list of them.

pcert_length is the size of the previous list.

pkey is the private key.

If the callback function is provided then gnutls will call it, in the handshake, after the certificate request message has been received. All the provided by the callback values will not be released or modified by gnutls.

In server side pk_algos and req_ca_dn are NULL.

The callback function should set the certificate list to be sent, and return 0 on success. If no certificate was selected then the number of certificates should be set to zero. The value (-1) indicates error and the handshake will be terminated. If both certificates are set in the credentials and a callback is available, the callback takes predence.

Parameters

cred

is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type.

 

func

is the callback function

gnutls_privkey_init ()

int
gnutls_privkey_init (gnutls_privkey_t *key);

This function will initialize a private key object. The object can be used to generate, import, and perform cryptographic operations on the associated private key.

Note that when the underlying private key is a PKCS11 key (i.e., when imported with a PKCS11 URI), the limitations of gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_init() apply to this object as well. In versions of GnuTLS later than 3.5.11 the object is protected using locks and a single gnutls_privkey_t can be re-used by many threads. However, for performance it is recommended to utilize one object per key per thread.

Parameters

key

A pointer to the type to be initialized

 

Returns

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

Since: 2.12.0

Since: 3.0


gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2 ()

int
gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2 (gnutls_pubkey_t key,
                            gnutls_sign_algorithm_t algo,
                            unsigned int flags,
                            const gnutls_datum_t *hash,
                            const gnutls_datum_t *signature);

This function will verify the given signed digest, using the parameters from the public key. Note that unlike gnutls_privkey_sign_hash(), this function accepts a signature algorithm instead of a digest algorithm. You can use gnutls_pk_to_sign() to get the appropriate value.

Parameters

key

Holds the public key

 

algo

The signature algorithm used

 

flags

Zero or an OR list of gnutls_certificate_verify_flags

 

hash

holds the hash digest to be verified

 

signature

contains the signature

 

Returns

In case of a verification failure GNUTLS_E_PK_SIG_VERIFY_FAILED is returned, and zero or positive code on success.

Since: 3.0


gnutls_x509_crl_privkey_sign ()

int
gnutls_x509_crl_privkey_sign (gnutls_x509_crl_t crl,
                              gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer,
                              gnutls_privkey_t issuer_key,
                              gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig,
                              unsigned int flags);

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

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

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

Parameters

crl

should contain a gnutls_x509_crl_t type

 

issuer

is the certificate of the certificate issuer

 

issuer_key

holds the issuer's private key

 

dig

The message digest to use. GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256 is the safe choice unless you know what you're doing.

 

flags

must be 0

 

Returns

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

Since 2.12.0


gnutls_x509_crq_privkey_sign ()

int
gnutls_x509_crq_privkey_sign (gnutls_x509_crq_t crq,
                              gnutls_privkey_t key,
                              gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig,
                              unsigned int flags);

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.

Parameters

crq

should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type

 

key

holds a private key

 

dig

The message digest to use, i.e., GNUTLS_DIG_SHA1

 

flags

must be 0

 

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()).

Since: 2.12.0


gnutls_x509_crq_set_pubkey ()

int
gnutls_x509_crq_set_pubkey (gnutls_x509_crq_t crq,
                            gnutls_pubkey_t key);

This function will set the public parameters from the given public key to the request. The key can be deallocated after that.

Parameters

crq

should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type

 

key

holds a public key

 

Returns

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

Since: 2.12.0
