Функции API (API function)

Имя (Name)

gnutls_certificate_verify_peers - API function

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_typed_vdata_st * data, unsigned int elements, unsigned int * status);


Аргументы (Arguments)

gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls session

gnutls_typed_vdata_st * data an array of typed data

unsigned int elements the number of data elements

unsigned int * status is the output of the verification


Описание (Description)

This function will verify the peer's certificate and store the
       the status in the  status variable as a bitwise OR of
       gnutls_certificate_status_t values or zero if the certificate is
       trusted. Note that value in  status is set only when the return
       value of this function is success (i.e, failure to trust a
       certificate does not imply a negative return value).  The default
       verification flags used by this function can be overridden using
       gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags(). See the documentation of
       gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() for details in the
       verification process.

This function will take into account the stapled OCSP responses sent by the server, as well as the following X.509 certificate extensions: Name Constraints, Key Usage, and Basic Constraints (pathlen).

The acceptable data types are GNUTLS_DT_DNS_HOSTNAME, GNUTLS_DT_RFC822NAME and GNUTLS_DT_KEY_PURPOSE_OID. The former two accept as data a null-terminated hostname or email address, 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 certificate against the given. If names do not match the GNUTLS_CERT_UNEXPECTED_OWNER status flag will be set. If a key purpose OID is provided and the end-certificate contains the extended key usage PKIX extension, it will be required to be have the provided key purpose or be marked for any purpose, otherwise verification status will have the GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNER_CONSTRAINTS_FAILURE flag set.

To avoid denial of service attacks some default upper limits regarding the certificate key size and chain size are set. To override them use gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits().

Note that when using raw public-keys verification will not work because there is no corresponding certificate body belonging to the raw key that can be verified. In that case this function will return GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) when the validation is performed, or a
       negative error code otherwise.  A successful error code means
       that the  status parameter must be checked to obtain the
       validation status.
