This change has associated tags: LEVITTE_before_const and
LEVITTE_after_const. Those will be removed when this change has been
properly reviewed.
defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
-- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
The only thing I'm not sure about is if it's implicit or explicit tags
that I should count on. For now, I'm thinking explicit, but will
gladly stand corrected.
Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate pairs,
and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP attribute
crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as well.
Additional changes:
- use EC_GROUP_get_degree() in apps/req.c
- add ECDSA and ECDH to apps/speed.c
- adds support for EC curves over binary fields to ECDSA
- new function EC_KEY_up_ref() in crypto/ec/ec_key.c
- reorganize crypto/ecdsa/ecdsatest.c
- add engine support for ECDH
- fix a few bugs in ECDSA engine support

NB: X509_STORE_CTX's use of "ex_data" support was actually misimplemented
(initialisation by "memset" won't/can't/doesn't work). This fixes that but
requires that X509_STORE_CTX_init() be able to handle errors - so its
prototype has been changed to return 'int' rather than 'void'. All uses of
that function throughout the source code have been tracked down and
adjusted.
the 'ca' utility. This can now be extensively
customised in the configuration file and handles
multibyte strings and extensions properly.
This is required when extensions copying from
certificate requests is supported: the user
must be able to view the extensions before
allowing a certificate to be issued.
sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
opensslconf.h.
I've checked fairly well that nothing breaks with this (apart from
external software that will adapt if they have used something like
NO_KRB5), but I can't guarantee it completely, so a review of this
change would be a good thing.
The old code was painfully primitive and couldn't handle
distinct certificates using the same subject name.
The new code performs several tests on a candidate issuer
certificate based on certificate extensions.
It also adds several callbacks to X509_VERIFY_CTX so its
behaviour can be customised.
Unfortunately some hackery was needed to persuade X509_STORE
to tolerate this. This should go away when X509_STORE is
replaced, sometime...
This must have broken something though :-(
