DESCRIPTION
SSL_enable_ct() and SSL_CTX_enable_ct() enable the processing of signed
certificate timestamps (SCTs) either for a given SSL connection or for
all connections that share the given SSL context, respectively. This
is accomplished by setting a built-in CT validation callback. The
behaviour of the callback is determined by the validation_mode
argument, which can be either of SSL_CT_VALIDATION_PERMISSIVE or
SSL_CT_VALIDATION_STRICT as described below.
If validation_mode is equal to SSL_CT_VALIDATION_STRICT, then in a full
TLS handshake with the verification mode set to SSL_VERIFY_PEER, if the
peer presents no valid SCTs the handshake will be aborted. If the
verification mode is SSL_VERIFY_NONE, the handshake will continue
despite lack of valid SCTs. However, in that case if the verification
status before the built-in callback was X509_V_OK it will be set to
X509_V_ERR_NO_VALID_SCTS after the callback. Applications can call
SSL_get_verify_result(3) to check the status at handshake completion,
even after session resumption since the verification status is part of
the saved session state. See SSL_set_verify(3),
<SSL_get_verify_result(3)>, SSL_session_reused(3).
If validation_mode is equal to SSL_CT_VALIDATION_PERMISSIVE, then the
handshake continues, and the verification status is not modified,
regardless of the validation status of any SCTs. The application can
still inspect the validation status of the SCTs at handshake
completion. Note that with session resumption there will not be any
SCTs presented during the handshake. Therefore, in applications that
delay SCT policy enforcement until after handshake completion, such
delayed SCT checks should only be performed when the session is not
resumed.
SSL_set_ct_validation_callback() and
SSL_CTX_set_ct_validation_callback() register a custom callback that
may implement a different policy than either of the above. This
callback can examine the peer's SCTs and determine whether they are
sufficient to allow the connection to continue. The TLS handshake is
aborted if the verification mode is not SSL_VERIFY_NONE and the
callback returns a non-positive result.
An arbitrary callback context argument, arg, can be passed in when
setting the callback. This will be passed to the callback whenever it
is invoked. Ownership of this context remains with the caller.
If no callback is set, SCTs will not be requested and Certificate
Transparency validation will not occur.
No callback will be invoked when the peer presents no certificate, e.g.
by employing an anonymous (aNULL) cipher suite. In that case the
handshake continues as it would had no callback been requested.
Callbacks are also not invoked when the peer certificate chain is
invalid or validated via DANE-TA(2) or DANE-EE(3) TLSA records which
use a private X.509 PKI, or no X.509 PKI at all, respectively. Clients
that require SCTs are expected to not have enabled any aNULL ciphers
nor to have specified server verification via DANE-TA(2) or DANE-EE(3)
TLSA records.
SSL_disable_ct() and SSL_CTX_disable_ct() turn off CT processing,
whether enabled via the built-in or the custom callbacks, by setting a
NULL callback. These may be implemented as macros.
SSL_ct_is_enabled() and SSL_CTX_ct_is_enabled() return 1 if CT
processing is enabled via either SSL_enable_ct() or a non-null custom
callback, and 0 otherwise.
NOTES
When SCT processing is enabled, OCSP stapling will be enabled. This is
because one possible source of SCTs is the OCSP response from a server.
The time returned by SSL_SESSION_get_time() will be used to evaluate
whether any presented SCTs have timestamps that are in the future (and
therefore invalid).
RESTRICTIONS
Certificate Transparency validation cannot be enabled and so a callback
cannot be set if a custom client extension handler has been registered
to handle SCT extensions (TLSEXT_TYPE_signed_certificate_timestamp).
RETURN VALUES
SSL_enable_ct(), SSL_CTX_enable_ct(),
SSL_CTX_set_ct_validation_callback() and
SSL_set_ct_validation_callback() return 1 if the callback is
successfully set. They return 0 if an error occurs, e.g. a custom
client extension handler has been setup to handle SCTs.
SSL_disable_ct() and SSL_CTX_disable_ct() do not return a result.
SSL_CTX_ct_is_enabled() and SSL_ct_is_enabled() return a 1 if a non-
null CT validation callback is set, or 0 if no callback (or
equivalently a NULL callback) is set.
