- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- \&\fBSSL_check_chain()\fR checks whether certificate \fBx\fR, private key \fBpk\fR and
- certificate chain \fBchain\fR is suitable for use with the current session
- \&\fBs\fR.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBSSL_check_chain()\fR returns a bitmap of flags indicating the validity of the
- chain.
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_VALID\s0\fR: the chain can be used with the current session.
- If this flag is \fBnot\fR set then the certificate will never be used even
- if the application tries to set it because it is inconsistent with the
- peer preferences.
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_SIGN\s0\fR: the \s-1EE\s0 key can be used for signing.
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_EE_SIGNATURE\s0\fR: the signature algorithm of the \s-1EE\s0 certificate is
- acceptable.
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_CA_SIGNATURE\s0\fR: the signature algorithms of all \s-1CA\s0 certificates
- are acceptable.
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_EE_PARAM\s0\fR: the parameters of the end entity certificate are
- acceptable (e.g. it is a supported curve).
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_CA_PARAM\s0\fR: the parameters of all \s-1CA\s0 certificates are acceptable.
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_EXPLICIT_SIGN\s0\fR: the end entity certificate algorithm
- can be used explicitly for signing (i.e. it is mentioned in the signature
- algorithms extension).
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_ISSUER_NAME\s0\fR: the issuer name is acceptable. This is only
- meaningful for client authentication.
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_CERT_TYPE\s0\fR: the certificate type is acceptable. Only meaningful
- for client authentication.
- .PP
- \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_SUITEB\s0\fR: chain is suitable for Suite B use.
- .SH "NOTES"
- .IX Header "NOTES"
- \&\fBSSL_check_chain()\fR must be called in servers after a client hello message or in
- clients after a certificate request message. It will typically be called
- in the certificate callback.
- .PP
- An application wishing to support multiple certificate chains may call this
- function on each chain in turn: starting with the one it considers the
- most secure. It could then use the chain of the first set which returns
- suitable flags.
- .PP
- As a minimum the flag \fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_VALID\s0\fR must be set for a chain to be
- usable. An application supporting multiple chains with different \s-1CA\s0 signature
- algorithms may also wish to check \fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_CA_SIGNATURE\s0\fR too. If no
- chain is suitable a server should fall back to the most secure chain which
- sets \fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_VALID\s0\fR.
- .PP
- The validity of a chain is determined by checking if it matches a supported
- signature algorithm, supported curves and in the case of client authentication
- certificate types and issuer names.
- .PP
- Since the supported signature algorithms extension is only used in \s-1TLS 1.2,
- TLS 1.3\s0 and \s-1DTLS 1.2\s0 the results for earlier versions of \s-1TLS\s0 and \s-1DTLS\s0 may not
- be very useful. Applications may wish to specify a different \*(L"legacy\*(R" chain
- for earlier versions of \s-1TLS\s0 or \s-1DTLS.\s0
