Detailed Description

This module contains base functions for creating and verifying TLSA RR's with PKIX certificates, certificate chains and validation stores.

(See RFC6394 and RFC6698).

Since those functions heavily rely op cryptographic operations, this module is dependent on openssl.

◆ ldns_dane_select_certificate()

ldns_status ldns_dane_select_certificate ( X509 **  selected_cert,
X509 *  cert,
STACK_OF(X509) *  extra_certs,
X509_STORE *  pkix_validation_store,
ldns_tlsa_certificate_usage  cert_usage,
int  index 
)

Selects the certificate from cert, extra_certs or the pkix_validation_store based on the value of cert_usage and index.

Parameters
[out]selected_certThe selected cert.
[in]certThe certificate to validate (or not)
[in]extra_certsIntermediate certificates that might be necessary during validation. May be NULL, except when the certificate usage is "Trust Anchor Assertion" because the trust anchor has to be provided.(otherwise choose a "Domain issued certificate!"
[in]pkix_validation_storeUsed when the certificate usage is "CA constraint" or "Service Certificate Constraint" to validate the certificate and, in case of "CA constraint", select the CA. When pkix_validation_store is NULL, validation is explicitly turned off and the behaviour is then the same as for "Trust anchor assertion" and "Domain issued certificate" respectively.
[in]cert_usageWhich certificate to use and how to validate.
[in]indexUsed to select the trust anchor when certificate usage is "Trust Anchor Assertion". 0 is the last certificate in the validation chain. 1 the one but last, etc. When index is -1, the last certificate is used that MUST be self-signed. This can help to make sure that the intended (self signed) trust anchor is actually present in extra_certs (which is a DANE requirement).
Returns
LDNS_STATUS_OK on success or an error code otherwise.

ldns_tlsa_selector  selector,
ldns_tlsa_matching_type  matching_type,

)

Creates a TLSA resource record from the certificate.

No PKIX validation is performed! The given certificate is used as data regardless the value of certificate_usage.

Parameters
[out]tlsaThe created TLSA resource record.
[in]certificate_usageThe value for the Certificate Usage field
[in]selectorThe value for the Selector field
[in]matching_typeThe value for the Matching Type field
[in]certThe certificate which data will be represented
Returns
LDNS_STATUS_OK on success or an error code otherwise.

◆ ldns_dane_verify_rr()

ldns_status ldns_dane_verify_rr ( const ldns_rr tlsa_rr,
X509 *  cert,
STACK_OF(X509) *  extra_certs,
X509_STORE *  pkix_validation_store 
)

BEWARE! We strongly recommend to use OpenSSL 1.1.0 dane verification functions instead of the ones provided by ldns.

When OpenSSL 1.1.0 was available ldns will use the OpenSSL 1.1.0 dane verification functions under the hood. When ldns was linked with OpenSSL < 1.1.0, this function will not be able to verify TLSA records with DANE-TA usage types.

BEWARE! The ldns dane verification functions do not do server name checks. The user has to perform additional server name checks themselves!

Verify if the given TLSA resource record matches the given certificate. Reporting on a TLSA rr mismatch (LDNS_STATUS_DANE_TLSA_DID_NOT_MATCH) is preferred over PKIX failure (LDNS_STATUS_DANE_PKIX_DID_NOT_VALIDATE). So when PKIX validation is required by the TLSA Certificate usage, but the TLSA data does not match, LDNS_STATUS_DANE_TLSA_DID_NOT_MATCH is returned whether the PKIX validated or not.

When ldns is linked with OpenSSL < 1.1.0 and this function is available, then the DANE-TA usage type will not be verified, and on a tlsa_rr with this usage type, LDNS_STATUS_DANE_NEED_OPENSSL_GE_1_1_FOR_DANE_TA will be returned.

Parameters
[in]tlsa_rrThe resource record that specifies what and how to match the certificate. With tlsa_rr == NULL, regular PKIX validation is performed.
[in]certThe certificate to match (and validate)
[in]extra_certsIntermediate certificates that might be necessary creating the validation chain.
[in]pkix_validation_storeUsed when the certificate usage is "CA constraint" or "Service Certificate Constraint" to validate the certificate.
Returns
LDNS_STATUS_OK on success, LDNS_STATUS_DANE_NEED_OPENSSL_GE_1_1_FOR_DANE_TA when the provided TLSA had the DANE-TA usage type, LDNS_STATUS_DANE_TLSA_DID_NOT_MATCH on TLSA data mismatch, LDNS_STATUS_DANE_PKIX_DID_NOT_VALIDATE when TLSA matched, but the PKIX validation failed, or other ldns_status errors.

◆ ldns_dane_verify()

ldns_status ldns_dane_verify ( const ldns_rr_list tlsas,
X509 *  cert,
STACK_OF(X509) *  extra_certs,
X509_STORE *  pkix_validation_store 
)

BEWARE! We strongly recommend to use OpenSSL 1.1.0 dane verification functions instead of the ones provided by ldns.

When OpenSSL 1.1.0 was available ldns will use the OpenSSL 1.1.0 dane verification functions under the hood. When ldns was linked with OpenSSL < 1.1.0, this function will not be able to verify TLSA records with DANE-TA usage types.

BEWARE! The ldns dane verification functions do not do server name checks. The user has to perform additional server name checks themselves!

Verify if any of the given TLSA resource records matches the given certificate.

Parameters
[in]tlsasThe resource records that specify what and how to match the certificate. One must match for this function to succeed. With tlsas == NULL or the number of TLSA records in tlsas == 0, regular PKIX validation is performed.
[in]certThe certificate to match (and validate)
[in]extra_certsIntermediate certificates that might be necessary creating the validation chain.
[in]pkix_validation_storeUsed when the certificate usage is "CA constraint" or "Service Certificate Constraint" to validate the certificate.
Returns
LDNS_STATUS_OK on success, LDNS_STATUS_DANE_NEED_OPENSSL_GE_1_1_FOR_DANE_TA when at least one of the TLSA's had usage type DANE-TA and none of the TLSA's matched or PKIX validated, LDNS_STATUS_DANE_PKIX_DID_NOT_VALIDATE when one of the TLSA's matched but the PKIX validation failed, LDNS_STATUS_DANE_TLSA_DID_NOT_MATCH when none of the TLSA's matched, or other ldns_status errors.
