If something was "present in all versions" of SSLeay, or if it was added to a version of SSLeay (and therefore predates OpenSSL), remove mention of it. Documentation history now starts with OpenSSL. Remove mention of all history before OpenSSL 0.9.8, inclusive. Remove all AUTHOR sections. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org>

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
ASN1_generate_nconf, ASN1_generate_v3 - ASN1 generation functions
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/asn1.h>
|
|
|
|
ASN1_TYPE *ASN1_generate_nconf(char *str, CONF *nconf);
|
|
ASN1_TYPE *ASN1_generate_v3(char *str, X509V3_CTX *cnf);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
These functions generate the ASN1 encoding of a string
|
|
in an B<ASN1_TYPE> structure.
|
|
|
|
B<str> contains the string to encode B<nconf> or B<cnf> contains
|
|
the optional configuration information where additional strings
|
|
will be read from. B<nconf> will typically come from a config
|
|
file whereas B<cnf> is obtained from an B<X509V3_CTX> structure
|
|
which will typically be used by X509 v3 certificate extension
|
|
functions. B<cnf> or B<nconf> can be set to B<NULL> if no additional
|
|
configuration will be used.
|
|
|
|
=head1 GENERATION STRING FORMAT
|
|
|
|
The actual data encoded is determined by the string B<str> and
|
|
the configuration information. The general format of the string
|
|
is:
|
|
|
|
=over 2
|
|
|
|
=item B<[modifier,]type[:value]>
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
That is zero or more comma separated modifiers followed by a type
|
|
followed by an optional colon and a value. The formats of B<type>,
|
|
B<value> and B<modifier> are explained below.
|
|
|
|
=head2 SUPPORTED TYPES
|
|
|
|
The supported types are listed below. Unless otherwise specified
|
|
only the B<ASCII> format is permissible.
|
|
|
|
=over 2
|
|
|
|
=item B<BOOLEAN>, B<BOOL>
|
|
|
|
This encodes a boolean type. The B<value> string is mandatory and
|
|
should be B<TRUE> or B<FALSE>. Additionally B<TRUE>, B<true>, B<Y>,
|
|
B<y>, B<YES>, B<yes>, B<FALSE>, B<false>, B<N>, B<n>, B<NO> and B<no>
|
|
are acceptable.
|
|
|
|
=item B<NULL>
|
|
|
|
Encode the B<NULL> type, the B<value> string must not be present.
|
|
|
|
=item B<INTEGER>, B<INT>
|
|
|
|
Encodes an ASN1 B<INTEGER> type. The B<value> string represents
|
|
the value of the integer, it can be prefaced by a minus sign and
|
|
is normally interpreted as a decimal value unless the prefix B<0x>
|
|
is included.
|
|
|
|
=item B<ENUMERATED>, B<ENUM>
|
|
|
|
Encodes the ASN1 B<ENUMERATED> type, it is otherwise identical to
|
|
B<INTEGER>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<OBJECT>, B<OID>
|
|
|
|
Encodes an ASN1 B<OBJECT IDENTIFIER>, the B<value> string can be
|
|
a short name, a long name or numerical format.
|
|
|
|
=item B<UTCTIME>, B<UTC>
|
|
|
|
Encodes an ASN1 B<UTCTime> structure, the value should be in
|
|
the format B<YYMMDDHHMMSSZ>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<GENERALIZEDTIME>, B<GENTIME>
|
|
|
|
Encodes an ASN1 B<GeneralizedTime> structure, the value should be in
|
|
the format B<YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<OCTETSTRING>, B<OCT>
|
|
|
|
Encodes an ASN1 B<OCTET STRING>. B<value> represents the contents
|
|
of this structure, the format strings B<ASCII> and B<HEX> can be
|
|
used to specify the format of B<value>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<BITSTRING>, B<BITSTR>
|
|
|
|
Encodes an ASN1 B<BIT STRING>. B<value> represents the contents
|
|
of this structure, the format strings B<ASCII>, B<HEX> and B<BITLIST>
|
|
can be used to specify the format of B<value>.
|
|
|
|
If the format is anything other than B<BITLIST> the number of unused
|
|
bits is set to zero.
|
|
|
|
=item B<UNIVERSALSTRING>, B<UNIV>, B<IA5>, B<IA5STRING>, B<UTF8>,
|
|
B<UTF8String>, B<BMP>, B<BMPSTRING>, B<VISIBLESTRING>,
|
|
B<VISIBLE>, B<PRINTABLESTRING>, B<PRINTABLE>, B<T61>,
|
|
B<T61STRING>, B<TELETEXSTRING>, B<GeneralString>, B<NUMERICSTRING>,
|
|
B<NUMERIC>
|
|
|
|
These encode the corresponding string types. B<value> represents the
|
|
contents of this structure. The format can be B<ASCII> or B<UTF8>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<SEQUENCE>, B<SEQ>, B<SET>
|
|
|
|
Formats the result as an ASN1 B<SEQUENCE> or B<SET> type. B<value>
|
|
should be a section name which will contain the contents. The
|
|
field names in the section are ignored and the values are in the
|
|
generated string format. If B<value> is absent then an empty SEQUENCE
|
|
will be encoded.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=head2 MODIFIERS
|
|
|
|
Modifiers affect the following structure, they can be used to
|
|
add EXPLICIT or IMPLICIT tagging, add wrappers or to change
|
|
the string format of the final type and value. The supported
|
|
formats are documented below.
|
|
|
|
=over 2
|
|
|
|
=item B<EXPLICIT>, B<EXP>
|
|
|
|
Add an explicit tag to the following structure. This string
|
|
should be followed by a colon and the tag value to use as a
|
|
decimal value.
|
|
|
|
By following the number with B<U>, B<A>, B<P> or B<C> UNIVERSAL,
|
|
APPLICATION, PRIVATE or CONTEXT SPECIFIC tagging can be used,
|
|
the default is CONTEXT SPECIFIC.
|
|
|
|
=item B<IMPLICIT>, B<IMP>
|
|
|
|
This is the same as B<EXPLICIT> except IMPLICIT tagging is used
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
=item B<OCTWRAP>, B<SEQWRAP>, B<SETWRAP>, B<BITWRAP>
|
|
|
|
The following structure is surrounded by an OCTET STRING, a SEQUENCE,
|
|
a SET or a BIT STRING respectively. For a BIT STRING the number of unused
|
|
bits is set to zero.
|
|
|
|
=item B<FORMAT>
|
|
|
|
This specifies the format of the ultimate value. It should be followed
|
|
by a colon and one of the strings B<ASCII>, B<UTF8>, B<HEX> or B<BITLIST>.
|
|
|
|
If no format specifier is included then B<ASCII> is used. If B<UTF8> is
|
|
specified then the value string must be a valid B<UTF8> string. For B<HEX> the
|
|
output must be a set of hex digits. B<BITLIST> (which is only valid for a BIT
|
|
STRING) is a comma separated list of the indices of the set bits, all other
|
|
bits are zero.

=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
A simple IA5String:
|
|
|
|
IA5STRING:Hello World
|
|
|
|
An IA5String explicitly tagged:
|
|
|
|
EXPLICIT:0,IA5STRING:Hello World
|
|
|
|
An IA5String explicitly tagged using APPLICATION tagging:
|
|
|
|
EXPLICIT:0A,IA5STRING:Hello World
|
|
|
|
A BITSTRING with bits 1 and 5 set and all others zero:
|
|
|
|
FORMAT:BITLIST,BITSTRING:1,5
|
|
|
|
A more complex example using a config file to produce a
|
|
SEQUENCE consisting of a BOOL an OID and a UTF8String:
|
|
|
|
asn1 = SEQUENCE:seq_section
|
|
|
|
[seq_section]
|
|
|
|
field1 = BOOLEAN:TRUE
|
|
field2 = OID:commonName
|
|
field3 = UTF8:Third field
|
|
|
|
This example produces an RSAPrivateKey structure, this is the
|
|
key contained in the file client.pem in all OpenSSL distributions
|
|
(note: the field names such as 'coeff' are ignored and are present just
|
|
for clarity):

|
|
|
|
ASN1_generate_nconf() and ASN1_generate_v3() return the encoded
