- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- \&\fBCMS_verify()\fR is very similar to \fBPKCS7_verify\fR\|(3). It verifies a
- \&\fB\s-1CMS\s0 SignedData\fR structure contained in a structure of type \fBCMS_ContentInfo\fR.
- \&\fIcms\fR points to the \fBCMS_ContentInfo\fR structure to verify.
- The optional \fIcerts\fR parameter refers to a set of certificates
- in which to search for signing certificates.
- \&\fIcms\fR may contain extra untrusted \s-1CA\s0 certificates that may be used for
- chain building as well as CRLs that may be used for certificate validation.
- \&\fIstore\fR may be \s-1NULL\s0 or point to
- the trusted certificate store to use for chain verification.
- \&\fIdetached_data\fR refers to the signed data if the content is detached from \fIcms\fR.
- Otherwise \fIdetached_data\fR should be \s-1NULL\s0 and the signed data must be in \fIcms\fR.
- The content is written to the \s-1BIO\s0 \fIout\fR unless it is \s-1NULL.\s0
- \&\fIflags\fR is an optional set of flags, which can be used to modify the operation.
- .PP
- \&\fBCMS_SignedData_verify()\fR is like \fBCMS_verify()\fR except that
- it operates on \fB\s-1CMS\s0 SignedData\fR input in the \fIsd\fR argument,
- it has some additional parameters described next,
- and on success it returns the verified content as a memory \s-1BIO.\s0
- The optional \fIextra\fR parameter may be used to provide untrusted \s-1CA\s0
- certificates that may be helpful for chain building in certificate validation.
- This list of certificates must not contain duplicates.
- The optional \fIcrls\fR parameter may be used to provide extra CRLs.
- Also the list of CRLs must not contain duplicates.
- The optional parameters library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR
- are used when retrieving algorithms from providers.
- .PP
- \&\fBCMS_get0_signers()\fR retrieves the signing certificate(s) from \fIcms\fR; it may only
- be called after a successful \fBCMS_verify()\fR or \fBCMS_SignedData_verify()\fR operation.
- .SH "VERIFY PROCESS"
- .IX Header "VERIFY PROCESS"
- Normally the verify process proceeds as follows.
- .PP
- Initially some sanity checks are performed on \fIcms\fR. The type of \fIcms\fR must
- be SignedData. There must be at least one signature on the data and if
- the content is detached \fIdetached_data\fR cannot be \s-1NULL.\s0
- .PP
- An attempt is made to locate all the signing certificate(s), first looking in
- the \fIcerts\fR parameter (if it is not \s-1NULL\s0) and then looking in any
- certificates contained in the \fIcms\fR structure unless \fB\s-1CMS_NOINTERN\s0\fR is set.
- If any signing certificate cannot be located the operation fails.
- .PP
- Each signing certificate is chain verified using the \fIsmimesign\fR purpose and
- using the trusted certificate store \fIstore\fR if supplied.
- Any internal certificates in the message, which may have been added using
- \&\fBCMS_add1_cert\fR\|(3), are used as untrusted CAs.
- If \s-1CRL\s0 checking is enabled in \fIstore\fR and \fB\s-1CMS_NOCRL\s0\fR is not set,
- any internal CRLs, which may have been added using \fBCMS_add1_crl\fR\|(3),
- are used in addition to attempting to look them up in \fIstore\fR.
- If \fIstore\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 and any chain verify fails an error code is returned.
- .PP
- Finally the signed content is read (and written to \fIout\fR unless it is \s-1NULL\s0)
- and the signature is checked.
- .PP
- If all signatures verify correctly then the function is successful.
- .PP
- Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the \fIflags\fR
- parameter to change the default verify behaviour.
- .PP
- If \fB\s-1CMS_NOINTERN\s0\fR is set the certificates in the message itself are not
- searched when locating the signing certificate(s).
- This means that all the signing certificates must be in the \fIcerts\fR parameter.
- .PP
- If \fB\s-1CMS_NOCRL\s0\fR is set and \s-1CRL\s0 checking is enabled in \fIstore\fR then any
- CRLs in the message itself and provided via the \fIcrls\fR parameter are ignored.
- .PP
- If the \fB\s-1CMS_TEXT\s0\fR flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type \f(CW\*(C`text/plain\*(C'\fR are deleted
- from the content. If the content is not of type \f(CW\*(C`text/plain\*(C'\fR then an error is
- returned.
- .PP
- If \fB\s-1CMS_NO_SIGNER_CERT_VERIFY\s0\fR is set the signing certificates are not
- chain verified, unless \fB\s-1CMS_CADES\s0\fR flag is also set.
- .PP
- If \fB\s-1CMS_NO_ATTR_VERIFY\s0\fR is set the signed attributes signature is not
- verified, unless \s-1CMS_CADES\s0 flag is also set.
- .PP
- If \fB\s-1CMS_CADES\s0\fR is set, each signer certificate is checked against the
- \&\s-1ESS\s0 signingCertificate or \s-1ESS\s0 signingCertificateV2 extension
- that is required in the signed attributes of the signature.
- .PP
- If \fB\s-1CMS_NO_CONTENT_VERIFY\s0\fR is set then the content digest is not checked.
- .SH "NOTES"
- .IX Header "NOTES"
- One application of \fB\s-1CMS_NOINTERN\s0\fR is to only accept messages signed by
- a small number of certificates. The acceptable certificates would be passed
- in the \fIcerts\fR parameter. In this case if the signer certificate is not one
- of the certificates supplied in \fIcerts\fR then the verify will fail because the
- signer cannot be found.
- .PP
- In some cases the standard techniques for looking up and validating
- certificates are not appropriate: for example an application may wish to
- lookup certificates in a database or perform customised verification. This
- can be achieved by setting and verifying the signer certificates manually
- using the signed data utility functions.
- .PP
- Care should be taken when modifying the default verify behaviour, for example
- setting \fB\s-1CMS_NO_CONTENT_VERIFY\s0\fR will totally disable all content verification
- and any modified content will be considered valid. This combination is however
- useful if one merely wishes to write the content to \fIout\fR and its validity
- is not considered important.
- .PP
- Chain verification should arguably be performed using the signing time rather
- than the current time. However, since the signing time is supplied by the
- signer it cannot be trusted without additional evidence (such as a trusted
- timestamp).
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBCMS_verify()\fR returns 1 for a successful verification and 0 if an error occurred.
- .PP
- \&\fBCMS_SignedData_verify()\fR returns a memory \s-1BIO\s0 containing the verified content,
- or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
- .PP
- \&\fBCMS_get0_signers()\fR returns all signers or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred.
- .PP
- The error can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
- .SH "BUGS"
- .IX Header "BUGS"
- The trusted certificate store is not searched for the signing certificate.
- This is primarily due to the inadequacies of the current \fBX509_STORE\fR
- functionality.
- .PP
- The lack of single pass processing means that the signed content must all
- be held in memory if it is not detached.
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
