  8. SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET,

  15. int SCT_validate(SCT *sct, const CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX *ctx);
  16. int SCT_LIST_validate(const STACK_OF(SCT) *scts, CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX *ctx);
  17. sct_validation_status_t SCT_get_validation_status(const SCT *sct);
  18. =head1 DESCRIPTION
  19. SCT_validate() will check that an SCT is valid and verify its signature.
  20. SCT_LIST_validate() performs the same checks on an entire stack of SCTs.
  21. The result of the validation checks can be obtained by passing the SCT to
  22. SCT_get_validation_status().
  23. A CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX must be provided that specifies:
  24. =over 2
  25. =item *
  26. The certificate the SCT was issued for.
  27. Failure to provide the certificate will result in the validation status being
  28. SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED.
  29. =item *
  30. The issuer of that certificate.
  31. This is only required if the SCT was issued for a pre-certificate
  32. (see RFC 6962). If it is required but not provided, the validation status will
  33. be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED.
  34. =item *
  35. A CTLOG_STORE that contains the CT log that issued this SCT.
  36. If the SCT was issued by a log that is not in this CTLOG_STORE, the validation
  37. status will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_LOG.
  38. =back
  39. If the SCT is of an unsupported version (only v1 is currently supported), the
  40. validation status will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_VERSION.
  41. If the SCT's signature is incorrect, its timestamp is in the future (relative to
  42. the time in CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX), or if it is otherwise invalid, the validation
  43. status will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_INVALID.
  44. If all checks pass, the validation status will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_VALID.
  45. =head1 NOTES
  46. A return value of 0 from SCT_LIST_validate() should not be interpreted as a
  47. failure. At a minimum, only one valid SCT may provide sufficient confidence
  48. that a certificate has been publicly logged.
  49. =head1 RETURN VALUES
  50. SCT_validate() returns a negative integer if an internal error occurs, 0 if the
  51. SCT fails validation, or 1 if the SCT passes validation.
  52. SCT_LIST_validate() returns a negative integer if an internal error occurs, 0
  53. if any of SCTs fails validation, or 1 if they all pass validation.
  54. SCT_get_validation_status() returns the validation status of the SCT.
  55. If SCT_validate() or SCT_LIST_validate() have not been passed that SCT, the
  56. returned value will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET.
