X.509 module#

mbedtls_x509_buf#

typedef mbedtls_asn1_buf mbedtls_x509_buf

Type-length-value structure that allows for ASN1 using DER.

mbedtls_x509_bitstring#

typedef mbedtls_asn1_bitstring mbedtls_x509_bitstring

Container for ASN1 bit strings.

mbedtls_x509_name#

typedef mbedtls_asn1_named_data mbedtls_x509_name

Container for ASN1 named information objects.

It allows for Relative Distinguished Names (e.g. cn=localhost,ou=code,etc.).

mbedtls_x509_sequence#

typedef mbedtls_asn1_sequence mbedtls_x509_sequence

Container for a sequence of ASN.1 items.

mbedtls_x509_crt_restart_ctx#

typedef void mbedtls_x509_crt_restart_ctx

mbedtls_x509_crt_ext_cb_t#

typedef int(* mbedtls_x509_crt_ext_cb_t) (void *p_ctx, mbedtls_x509_crt const *crt, mbedtls_x509_buf const *oid, int critical, const unsigned char *p, const unsigned char *end) )(void *p_ctx, mbedtls_x509_crt const *crt, mbedtls_x509_buf const *oid, int critical, const unsigned char *p, const unsigned char *end)

The type of certificate extension callbacks.

            Callbacks of this type are passed to and used by the
            mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() routine when
            it encounters either an unsupported extension or a
            "certificate policies" extension containing any
            unsupported certificate policies.
            Future versions of the library may invoke the callback
            in other cases, if and when the need arises.

Note

• The callback must fail and return a negative error code if it can not parse or does not support the extension. When the callback fails to parse a critical extension mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() also fails. When the callback fails to parse a non critical extension mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() simply skips the extension and continues parsing.

Returns

• 0 on success.

• A negative error code on failure.

mbedtls_x509_crt_ca_cb_t#

typedef int(* mbedtls_x509_crt_ca_cb_t) (void *p_ctx, mbedtls_x509_crt const *child, mbedtls_x509_crt **candidate_cas) )(void *p_ctx, mbedtls_x509_crt const *child, mbedtls_x509_crt **candidate_cas)

The type of trusted certificate callbacks.

                 Callbacks of this type are passed to and used by the CRT
                 verification routine mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_ca_cb()
                 when looking for trusted signers of a given certificate.

                 On success, the callback returns a list of trusted
                 certificates to be considered as potential signers
                 for the input certificate.

Note

• The callback must only return a non-zero value on a fatal error. If, in contrast, the search for a potential signer completes without a single candidate, the callback must return 0 and set *candidate_cas to NULL.

Returns

• 0 on success. In this case, *candidate_cas points to a heap-allocated linked list of instances of mbedtls_x509_crt, and ownership of this list is passed to the caller.

• A negative error code on failure.

mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_default#

const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_default

Default security profile.

Should provide a good balance between security and compatibility with current deployments.

This profile permits:

• SHA2 hashes with at least 256 bits: SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512.

• Elliptic curves with 255 bits and above except secp256k1.

• RSA with 2048 bits and above.

New minor versions of Mbed TLS may extend this profile, for example if new algorithms are added to the library. New minor versions of Mbed TLS will not reduce this profile unless serious security concerns require it.

mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_next#

const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_next

Expected next default profile.

Recommended for new deployments. Currently targets a 128-bit security level, except for allowing RSA-2048. This profile may change at any time.

mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_suiteb#

const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_suiteb

NSA Suite B profile.

mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_none#

const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_none

Empty profile that allows nothing.

Useful as a basis for constructing custom profiles.

mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_subject_alternative_name#

int mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_subject_alternative_name (mbedtls_x509write_cert * ctx, const mbedtls_x509_san_list * san_list)

Set Subject Alternative Name.

Returns

• 0 if successful, or MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_ALLOC_FAILED

Note

• "dnsName", "uniformResourceIdentifier", "IP address", "otherName", and "DirectoryName", as defined in RFC 5280, are supported.

mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der (mbedtls_x509_crt * chain, const unsigned char * buf, size_t buflen)

Parse a single DER formatted certificate and add it to the end of the provided chained list.

Note

• If #MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, the PSA crypto subsystem must have been initialized by calling psa_crypto_init() before calling this function.

Note

• This function makes an internal copy of the CRT buffer buf. In particular, buf may be destroyed or reused after this call returns. To avoid duplicating the CRT buffer (at the cost of stricter lifetime constraints), use mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_nocopy() instead.

Returns

• 0 if successful.

• A negative error code on failure.

mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb (mbedtls_x509_crt * chain, const unsigned char * buf, size_t buflen, int make_copy, mbedtls_x509_crt_ext_cb_t cb, void * p_ctx)

Parse a single DER formatted certificate and add it to the end of the provided chained list.

Note

• If #MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, the PSA crypto subsystem must have been initialized by calling psa_crypto_init() before calling this function.

Note

• This call is functionally equivalent to mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der(), and/or mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_nocopy() but it calls the callback with every unsupported certificate extension and additionally the "certificate policies" extension if it contains any unsupported certificate policies. The callback must return a negative error code if it does not know how to handle such an extension. When the callback fails to parse a critical extension mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() also fails. When the callback fails to parse a non critical extension mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_with_ext_cb() simply skips the extension and continues parsing. Future versions of the library may invoke the callback in other cases, if and when the need arises.

Returns

• 0 if successful.

• A negative error code on failure.

mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_nocopy#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der_nocopy (mbedtls_x509_crt * chain, const unsigned char * buf, size_t buflen)

Parse a single DER formatted certificate and add it to the end of the provided chained list.

This is a variant of mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der() which takes temporary ownership of the CRT buffer until the CRT is destroyed.

Note

• If #MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, the PSA crypto subsystem must have been initialized by calling psa_crypto_init() before calling this function.

Note

• This call is functionally equivalent to mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_der(), but it avoids creating a copy of the input buffer at the cost of stronger lifetime constraints. This is useful in constrained environments where duplication of the CRT cannot be tolerated.

Returns

• 0 if successful.

• A negative error code on failure.

mbedtls_x509_crt_parse#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_parse (mbedtls_x509_crt * chain, const unsigned char * buf, size_t buflen)

Parse one DER-encoded or one or more concatenated PEM-encoded certificates and add them to the chained list.

For CRTs in PEM encoding, the function parses permissively: if at least one certificate can be parsed, the function returns the number of certificates for which parsing failed (hence 0 if all certificates were parsed successfully). If no certificate could be parsed, the function returns the first (negative) error encountered during parsing.

PEM encoded certificates may be interleaved by other data such as human readable descriptions of their content, as long as the certificates are enclosed in the PEM specific '--—{BEGIN/END} CERTIFICATE--—' delimiters.

Note

• If #MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO is enabled, the PSA crypto subsystem must have been initialized by calling psa_crypto_init() before calling this function.

Returns

• 0 if all certificates were parsed successfully.

• The (positive) number of certificates that couldn't be parsed if parsing was partly successful (see above).

• A negative X509 or PEM error code otherwise.

mbedtls_x509_crt_info#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_info (char * buf, size_t size, const char * prefix, const mbedtls_x509_crt * crt)

Returns an informational string about the certificate.

Returns

• The length of the string written (not including the terminated nul byte), or a negative error code.

mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info (char * buf, size_t size, const char * prefix, uint32_t flags)

Returns an informational string about the verification status of a certificate.

Returns

• The length of the string written (not including the terminated nul byte), or a negative error code.

mbedtls_x509_crt_verify#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_verify (mbedtls_x509_crt * crt, mbedtls_x509_crt * trust_ca, mbedtls_x509_crl * ca_crl, const char * cn, uint32_t * flags, int(*)(void *, mbedtls_x509_crt *, int, uint32_t *) f_vrfy, void * p_vrfy)

Verify a chain of certificates.

            The verify callback is a user-supplied callback that
            can clear / modify / add flags for a certificate. If set,
            the verification callback is called for each
            certificate in the chain (from the trust-ca down to the
            presented crt). The parameters for the callback are:
            (void *parameter, mbedtls_x509_crt *crt, int certificate_depth,
            int *flags). With the flags representing current flags for
            that specific certificate and the certificate depth from
            the bottom (Peer cert depth = 0).

            All flags left after returning from the callback
            are also returned to the application. The function should
            return 0 for anything (including invalid certificates)
            other than fatal error, as a non-zero return code
            immediately aborts the verification process. For fatal
            errors, a specific error code should be used (different
            from MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_CERT_VERIFY_FAILED which should not
            be returned at this point), or MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_FATAL_ERROR
            can be used if no better code is available.

Note

• In case verification failed, the results can be displayed using mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info()

• Same as mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile() with the default security profile.

• It is your responsibility to provide up-to-date CRLs for all trusted CAs. If no CRL is provided for the CA that was used to sign the certificate, CRL verification is skipped silently, that is without setting any flag.

• The trust_ca list can contain two types of certificates: (1) those of trusted root CAs, so that certificates chaining up to those CAs will be trusted, and (2) self-signed end-entity certificates to be trusted (for specific peers you know) - in that case, the self-signed certificate doesn't need to have the CA bit set.

Returns

• 0 if the chain is valid with respect to the passed CN, CAs, CRLs and security profile.

• MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_CERT_VERIFY_FAILED in case the certificate chain verification failed. In this case, *flags will have one or more MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_XXX or MBEDTLS_X509_BADCRL_XXX flags set.

• Another negative error code in case of a fatal error encountered during the verification process.

mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile (mbedtls_x509_crt * crt, mbedtls_x509_crt * trust_ca, mbedtls_x509_crl * ca_crl, const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile * profile, const char * cn, uint32_t * flags, int(*)(void *, mbedtls_x509_crt *, int, uint32_t *) f_vrfy, void * p_vrfy)

Verify a chain of certificates with respect to a configurable security profile.

Note

• Same as mbedtls_x509_crt_verify(), but with explicit security profile.

• The restrictions on keys (RSA minimum size, allowed curves for ECDSA) apply to all certificates: trusted root, intermediate CAs if any, and end entity certificate.

Returns

• 0 if the chain is valid with respect to the passed CN, CAs, CRLs and security profile.

• MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_CERT_VERIFY_FAILED in case the certificate chain verification failed. In this case, *flags will have one or more MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_XXX or MBEDTLS_X509_BADCRL_XXX flags set.

• Another negative error code in case of a fatal error encountered during the verification process.

mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_restartable#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_restartable (mbedtls_x509_crt * crt, mbedtls_x509_crt * trust_ca, mbedtls_x509_crl * ca_crl, const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile * profile, const char * cn, uint32_t * flags, int(*)(void *, mbedtls_x509_crt *, int, uint32_t *) f_vrfy, void * p_vrfy, mbedtls_x509_crt_restart_ctx * rs_ctx)

Restartable version of mbedtls_crt_verify_with_profile()

Note

• Performs the same job as mbedtls_crt_verify_with_profile() but can return early and restart according to the limit set with mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops() to reduce blocking.

Returns

• See mbedtls_crt_verify_with_profile(), or

• #MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_IN_PROGRESS if maximum number of operations was reached: see mbedtls_ecp_set_max_ops().

mbedtls_x509_crt_check_key_usage#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_check_key_usage (const mbedtls_x509_crt * crt, unsigned int usage)

Check usage of certificate against keyUsage extension.

Note

• Except for decipherOnly and encipherOnly, a bit set in the usage argument means this bit MUST be set in the certificate. For decipherOnly and encipherOnly, it means that bit MAY be set.

Returns

• 0 is these uses of the certificate are allowed, MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_BAD_INPUT_DATA if the keyUsage extension is present but does not match the usage argument.

Note

• You should only call this function on leaf certificates, on (intermediate) CAs the keyUsage extension is automatically checked by mbedtls_x509_crt_verify().

mbedtls_x509_crt_check_extended_key_usage#

int mbedtls_x509_crt_check_extended_key_usage (const mbedtls_x509_crt * crt, const char * usage_oid, size_t usage_len)

• This function should be called on a single raw data of subject alternative name. For example, after successful certificate parsing, one must iterate on every item in the crt->subject_alt_names sequence, and pass it to this function.

Warnings

• The target structure contains pointers to the raw data of the parsed certificate, and its lifetime is restricted by the lifetime of the certificate.
