=head1 NAME
SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb, SSL_set_cert_cb - handle certificate callback function
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb(SSL_CTX *c, int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg), void *arg);
void SSL_set_cert_cb(SSL *s, int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg), void *arg);
int (*cert_cb)(SSL *ssl, void *arg);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb() and SSL_set_cert_cb() sets the B<cert_cb()> callback,
B<arg> value is pointer which is passed to the application callback.
When B<cert_cb()> is NULL, no callback function is used.
cert_cb() is the application defined callback. It is called before a
certificate will be used by a client or server. The callback can then inspect
the passed B<ssl> structure and set or clear any appropriate certificates. If
the callback is successful it B<MUST> return 1 even if no certificates have
been set. A zero is returned on error which will abort the handshake with a
fatal internal error alert. A negative return value will suspend the handshake
and the handshake function will return immediately.
L<SSL_get_error(3)|SSL_get_error(3)> will return SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP to
indicate, that the handshake was suspended. The next call to the handshake
function will again lead to the call of cert_cb(). It is the job of the
cert_cb() to store information about the state of the last call,
if required to continue.
=head1 NOTES
An application will typically call SSL_use_certificate() and
SSL_use_PrivateKey() to set the end entity certificate and private key.
It can add intermediate and optionally the root CA certificates using
SSL_add1_chain_cert().
It might also call SSL_certs_clear() to delete any certificates associated
with the B<SSL> object.
The certificate callback functionality supercedes the (largely broken)
functionality provided by the old client certificate callback interface.
It is B<always> called even is a certificate is already set so the callback
can modify or delete the existing certificate.
A more advanced callback might examine the handshake parameters and set
whatever chain is appropriate. For example a legacy client supporting only
TLS v1.0 might receive a certificate chain signed using SHA1 whereas a
TLS v1.2 client which advertises support for SHA256 could receive a chain
using SHA256.
Normal server sanity checks are performed on any certificates set
by the callback. So if an EC chain is set for a curve the client does not
support it will B<not> be used.

void *SSL_get0_security_ex_data(const SSL *s);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The functions SSL_CTX_set_security_level() and SSL_set_security_level() set
the security level to B<level>. If not set the libary default security level
is used.
The functions SSL_CTX_get_security_level() and SSL_get_security_level()
retrieve the current security level.
SSL_CTX_set_security_callback(), SSL_set_security_callback(),
SSL_CTX_get_security_callback() and SSL_get_security_callback() get or set
the security callback associated with B<ctx> or B<s>. If not set a default
security callback is used. The meaning of the parameters and the behaviour
of the default callbacks is described below.
SSL_CTX_set0_security_ex_data(), SSL_set0_security_ex_data(),
SSL_CTX_get0_security_ex_data() and SSL_get0_security_ex_data() set the
extra data pointer passed to the B<ex> parameter of the callback. This
value is passed to the callback verbatim and can be set to any convenient
application specific value.
=head1 DEFAULT CALLBACK BEHAVIOUR
If an application doesn't set it's own security callback the default
callback is used. It is intended to provide sane defaults. The meaning
of each level is described below.
=over 4
=item B<Level 0>
Everything is permitted. This retains compatibility with previous versions of
OpenSSL.
=item B<Level 1>
The security level corresponds to a minimum of 80 bits of security. Any
parameters offering below 80 bits of security are excluded. As a result RSA,
DSA and DH keys shorter than 1024 bits and ECC keys shorter than 160 bits
are prohibited. All export ciphersuites are prohibited since they all offer
less than 80 bits of security. SSL version 2 is prohibited. Any ciphersuite
using MD5 for the MAC is also prohibited.
=item B<Level 2>
Security level set to 112 bits of security. As a result RSA, DSA and DH keys
shorter than 2048 bits and ECC keys shorter than 224 bits are prohibited.
In addition to the level 1 exclusions any ciphersuite using RC4 is also
prohibited. SSL version 3 is also not allowed. Compression is disabled.
=item B<Level 3>
Security level set to 128 bits of security. As a result RSA, DSA and DH keys
shorter than 3072 bits and ECC keys shorter than 256 bits are prohibited.
In addition to the level 2 exclusions ciphersuites not offering forward
secrecy are prohibited. TLS versions below 1.1 are not permitted. Session
tickets are disabled.
=item B<Level 4>
Security level set to 192 bits of security. As a result RSA, DSA and DH keys
shorter than 7680 bits and ECC keys shorter than 384 bits are prohibited.
Ciphersuites using SHA1 for the MAC are prohibited. TLS versions below 1.2 are
not permitted.
=item B<Level 5>
Security level set to 256 bits of security. As a result RSA, DSA and DH keys
shorter than 15360 bits and ECC keys shorter than 512 bits are prohibited.

=head1 NOTES
B<WARNING> at this time setting the security level higher than 1 for
general internet use is likely to cause B<considerable> interoperability
issues and is not recommended. This is because the B<SHA1> algorithm
is very widely used in certificates and will be rejected at levels
higher than 1 because it only offers 80 bits of security.
The default security level can be configured when OpenSSL is compiled by
setting B<-DOPENSSL_TLS_SECURITY_LEVEL=level>. If not set then 1 is used.
The security framework disables or reject parameters inconsistent with the
set security level. In the past this was difficult as applications had to set
a number of distinct parameters (supported ciphers, supported curves supported
signature algorithms) to achieve this end and some cases (DH parameter size
for example) could not be checked at all.
By setting an appropriate security level much of this complexity can be
avoided.
The bits of security limits affect all relevant parameters including
ciphersuite encryption algorithms, supported ECC curves, supported
signature algorithms, DH parameter sizes, certificate key sizes and
signature algorithms. This limit applies no matter what other custom
settings an application has set: so if the ciphersuite is set to B<ALL>
then only ciphersuites consistent with the security level are permissible.
See SP800-57 for how the security limits are related to individual
algorithms.
Some security levels require large key sizes for none-ECC public key
algorithms which can severely degrade performance. For example 256 bits
of security requires the use of RSA keys of at least 15360 bits in size.
Some restrictions can be gracefully handled: for example ciphersuites
offering insufficient security are not sent by the client and will not
be selected by the server. Other restrictions such as the peer certificate
key size or the DH pameter size will abort the handshake with a fatal
alert.
Attempts to set certificates or parameters with insufficient security are
also blocked. For example trying to set a certificate using a 512 bit RSA
key using SSL_CTX_use_certificate() at level 1. Applications which do not
check the return values for errors will misbehave: for example it might
appear that a certificate is not set at all because it had been rejected.
