  156. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  157. \&\fBSSL_check_chain()\fR returns a bitmap of flags indicating the validity of the
  158. chain.
  159. .PP
  160. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_VALID\s0\fR: the chain can be used with the current session.
  161. If this flag is \fBnot\fR set then the certificate will never be used even
  162. if the application tries to set it because it is inconsistent with the
  163. peer preferences.
  164. .PP
  165. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_SIGN\s0\fR: the \s-1EE\s0 key can be used for signing.
  166. .PP
  167. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_EE_SIGNATURE\s0\fR: the signature algorithm of the \s-1EE\s0 certificate is
  168. acceptable.
  169. .PP
  170. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_CA_SIGNATURE\s0\fR: the signature algorithms of all \s-1CA\s0 certificates
  171. are acceptable.
  172. .PP
  173. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_EE_PARAM\s0\fR: the parameters of the end entity certificate are
  174. acceptable (e.g. it is a supported curve).
  175. .PP
  176. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_CA_PARAM\s0\fR: the parameters of all \s-1CA\s0 certificates are acceptable.
  177. .PP
  178. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_EXPLICIT_SIGN\s0\fR: the end entity certificate algorithm
  179. can be used explicitly for signing (i.e. it is mentioned in the signature
  180. algorithms extension).
  181. .PP
  182. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_ISSUER_NAME\s0\fR: the issuer name is acceptable. This is only
  183. meaningful for client authentication.
  184. .PP
  185. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_CERT_TYPE\s0\fR: the certificate type is acceptable. Only meaningful
  186. for client authentication.
  187. .PP
  188. \&\fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_SUITEB\s0\fR: chain is suitable for Suite B use.
  189. .SH "NOTES"
  190. .IX Header "NOTES"
  191. \&\fBSSL_check_chain()\fR must be called in servers after a client hello message or in
  192. clients after a certificate request message. It will typically be called
  193. in the certificate callback.
  194. .PP
  195. An application wishing to support multiple certificate chains may call this
  196. function on each chain in turn: starting with the one it considers the
  197. most secure. It could then use the chain of the first set which returns
  198. suitable flags.
  199. .PP
  200. As a minimum the flag \fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_VALID\s0\fR must be set for a chain to be
  201. usable. An application supporting multiple chains with different \s-1CA\s0 signature
  202. algorithms may also wish to check \fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_CA_SIGNATURE\s0\fR too. If no
  203. chain is suitable a server should fall back to the most secure chain which
  204. sets \fB\s-1CERT_PKEY_VALID\s0\fR.
  205. .PP
  206. The validity of a chain is determined by checking if it matches a supported
  207. signature algorithm, supported curves and in the case of client authentication
  208. certificate types and issuer names.
  209. .PP
  210. Since the supported signature algorithms extension is only used in \s-1TLS 1.2,
  211. 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
  212. be very useful. Applications may wish to specify a different \*(L"legacy\*(R" chain
  213. for earlier versions of \s-1TLS\s0 or \s-1DTLS.\s0
