  65. .SH SYNOPSIS
  66. .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
  67. .Vb 1
  68. \& #include <openssl/asn1.h>
  69. \&
  70. \& ASN1_TYPE *ASN1_generate_nconf(const char *str, CONF *nconf);
  71. \& ASN1_TYPE *ASN1_generate_v3(const char *str, X509V3_CTX *cnf);
  72. .Ve
  73. .SH DESCRIPTION
  74. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  75. These functions generate the ASN1 encoding of a string
  76. in an \fBASN1_TYPE\fR structure.
  77. .PP
  78. \&\fIstr\fR contains the string to encode. \fInconf\fR or \fIcnf\fR contains
  79. the optional configuration information where additional strings
  80. will be read from. \fInconf\fR will typically come from a config
  81. file whereas \fIcnf\fR is obtained from an \fBX509V3_CTX\fR structure,
  82. which will typically be used by X509 v3 certificate extension
  83. functions. \fIcnf\fR or \fInconf\fR can be set to NULL if no additional
  84. configuration will be used.
  85. .SH "GENERATION STRING FORMAT"
  86. .IX Header "GENERATION STRING FORMAT"
  87. The actual data encoded is determined by the string \fIstr\fR and
  88. the configuration information. The general format of the string
  89. is:
  90. .IP [\fImodifier\fR,]\fItype\fR[:\fIvalue\fR] 4
  91. .IX Item "[modifier,]type[:value]"
  92. .PP
  93. That is zero or more comma separated modifiers followed by a type
  94. followed by an optional colon and a value. The formats of \fItype\fR,
  95. \&\fIvalue\fR and \fImodifier\fR are explained below.
  96. .SS "Supported Types"
  97. .IX Subsection "Supported Types"
  98. The supported types are listed below.
  99. Case is not significant in the type names.
  100. Unless otherwise specified only the \fBASCII\fR format is permissible.
  101. .IP "\fBBOOLEAN\fR, \fBBOOL\fR" 4
  102. .IX Item "BOOLEAN, BOOL"
  103. This encodes a boolean type. The \fIvalue\fR string is mandatory and
  104. should be \fBTRUE\fR or \fBFALSE\fR. Additionally \fBTRUE\fR, \fBtrue\fR, \fBY\fR,
  105. \&\fBy\fR, \fBYES\fR, \fByes\fR, \fBFALSE\fR, \fBfalse\fR, \fBN\fR, \fBn\fR, \fBNO\fR and \fBno\fR
  106. are acceptable.
  107. .IP \fBNULL\fR 4
  108. .IX Item "NULL"
  109. Encode the \fBNULL\fR type, the \fIvalue\fR string must not be present.
  110. .IP "\fBINTEGER\fR, \fBINT\fR" 4
  111. .IX Item "INTEGER, INT"
  112. Encodes an ASN1 \fBINTEGER\fR type. The \fIvalue\fR string represents
  113. the value of the integer, it can be prefaced by a minus sign and
  114. is normally interpreted as a decimal value unless the prefix \fB0x\fR
  115. is included.
  116. .IP "\fBENUMERATED\fR, \fBENUM\fR" 4
  117. .IX Item "ENUMERATED, ENUM"
  118. Encodes the ASN1 \fBENUMERATED\fR type, it is otherwise identical to
  119. \&\fBINTEGER\fR.
  120. .IP "\fBOBJECT\fR, \fBOID\fR" 4
  121. .IX Item "OBJECT, OID"
  122. Encodes an ASN1 \fBOBJECT IDENTIFIER\fR, the \fIvalue\fR string can be
  123. a short name, a long name or numerical format.
  124. .IP "\fBUTCTIME\fR, \fBUTC\fR" 4
  125. .IX Item "UTCTIME, UTC"
  126. Encodes an ASN1 \fBUTCTime\fR structure, the value should be in
  127. the format \fBYYMMDDHHMMSSZ\fR.
  128. .IP "\fBGENERALIZEDTIME\fR, \fBGENTIME\fR" 4
  129. .IX Item "GENERALIZEDTIME, GENTIME"
  130. Encodes an ASN1 \fBGeneralizedTime\fR structure, the value should be in
  131. the format \fBYYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ\fR.
  132. .IP "\fBOCTETSTRING\fR, \fBOCT\fR" 4
  133. .IX Item "OCTETSTRING, OCT"
  134. Encodes an ASN1 \fBOCTET STRING\fR. \fIvalue\fR represents the contents
  135. of this structure, the format strings \fBASCII\fR and \fBHEX\fR can be
  136. used to specify the format of \fIvalue\fR.
  137. .IP "\fBBITSTRING\fR, \fBBITSTR\fR" 4
  138. .IX Item "BITSTRING, BITSTR"
  139. Encodes an ASN1 \fBBIT STRING\fR. \fIvalue\fR represents the contents
  140. of this structure, the format strings \fBASCII\fR, \fBHEX\fR and \fBBITLIST\fR
  141. can be used to specify the format of \fIvalue\fR.
  142. .Sp
  143. If the format is anything other than \fBBITLIST\fR the number of unused
  144. bits is set to zero.
  145. .IP "\fBUNIVERSALSTRING\fR, \fBUNIV\fR, \fBIA5\fR, \fBIA5STRING\fR, \fBUTF8\fR, \fBUTF8String\fR, \fBBMP\fR, \fBBMPSTRING\fR, \fBVISIBLESTRING\fR, \fBVISIBLE\fR, \fBPRINTABLESTRING\fR, \fBPRINTABLE\fR, \fBT61\fR, \fBT61STRING\fR, \fBTELETEXSTRING\fR, \fBGeneralString\fR, \fBNUMERICSTRING\fR, \fBNUMERIC\fR" 4
  146. .IX Item "UNIVERSALSTRING, UNIV, IA5, IA5STRING, UTF8, UTF8String, BMP, BMPSTRING, VISIBLESTRING, VISIBLE, PRINTABLESTRING, PRINTABLE, T61, T61STRING, TELETEXSTRING, GeneralString, NUMERICSTRING, NUMERIC"
  147. These encode the corresponding string types. \fIvalue\fR represents the
  148. contents of this structure. The format can be \fBASCII\fR or \fBUTF8\fR.
  149. .IP "\fBSEQUENCE\fR, \fBSEQ\fR, \fBSET\fR" 4
  150. .IX Item "SEQUENCE, SEQ, SET"
  151. Formats the result as an ASN1 \fBSEQUENCE\fR or \fBSET\fR type. \fIvalue\fR
  152. should be a section name which will contain the contents. The
  153. field names in the section are ignored and the values are in the
  154. generated string format. If \fIvalue\fR is absent then an empty SEQUENCE
  155. will be encoded.
  156. .SS Modifiers
  157. .IX Subsection "Modifiers"
  158. Modifiers affect the following structure, they can be used to
  159. add EXPLICIT or IMPLICIT tagging, add wrappers or to change
  160. the string format of the final type and value. The supported
  161. formats are documented below.
  162. .IP "\fBEXPLICIT\fR, \fBEXP\fR" 4
  163. .IX Item "EXPLICIT, EXP"
  164. Add an explicit tag to the following structure. This string
  165. should be followed by a colon and the tag value to use as a
  166. decimal value.
  167. .Sp
  168. By following the number with \fBU\fR, \fBA\fR, \fBP\fR or \fBC\fR UNIVERSAL,
  169. APPLICATION, PRIVATE or CONTEXT SPECIFIC tagging can be used,
  170. the default is CONTEXT SPECIFIC.
  171. .IP "\fBIMPLICIT\fR, \fBIMP\fR" 4
  172. .IX Item "IMPLICIT, IMP"
  173. This is the same as \fBEXPLICIT\fR except IMPLICIT tagging is used
  174. instead.
  175. .IP "\fBOCTWRAP\fR, \fBSEQWRAP\fR, \fBSETWRAP\fR, \fBBITWRAP\fR" 4
  176. .IX Item "OCTWRAP, SEQWRAP, SETWRAP, BITWRAP"
  177. The following structure is surrounded by an OCTET STRING, a SEQUENCE,
  178. a SET or a BIT STRING respectively. For a BIT STRING the number of unused
  179. bits is set to zero.
  180. .IP \fBFORMAT\fR 4
  181. .IX Item "FORMAT"
  182. This specifies the format of the ultimate value. It should be followed
  183. by a colon and one of the strings \fBASCII\fR, \fBUTF8\fR, \fBHEX\fR or \fBBITLIST\fR.
  184. .Sp
  185. If no format specifier is included then \fBASCII\fR is used. If \fBUTF8\fR is
  186. specified then the value string must be a valid \fBUTF8\fR string. For \fBHEX\fR the
  187. output must be a set of hex digits. \fBBITLIST\fR (which is only valid for a BIT
  188. STRING) is a comma separated list of the indices of the set bits, all other
  189. bits are zero.
  190. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  191. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  192. \&\fBASN1_generate_nconf()\fR and \fBASN1_generate_v3()\fR return the encoded
  193. data as an \fBASN1_TYPE\fR structure or NULL if an error occurred.
  194. .PP
  195. The error codes that can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
  196. .SH EXAMPLES
  197. .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
  198. A simple IA5String:
  199. .PP
  200. .Vb 1
  201. \& IA5STRING:Hello World
  202. .Ve
  203. .PP
  204. An IA5String explicitly tagged:
  205. .PP
  206. .Vb 1
  207. \& EXPLICIT:0,IA5STRING:Hello World
  208. .Ve
  209. .PP
  210. An IA5String explicitly tagged using APPLICATION tagging:
  211. .PP
  212. .Vb 1
  213. \& EXPLICIT:0A,IA5STRING:Hello World
  214. .Ve
  215. .PP
  216. A BITSTRING with bits 1 and 5 set and all others zero:
  217. .PP
  218. .Vb 1
  219. \& FORMAT:BITLIST,BITSTRING:1,5
  220. .Ve
  221. .PP
  222. A more complex example using a config file to produce a
  223. SEQUENCE consisting of a BOOL an OID and a UTF8String:
  224. .PP
  225. .Vb 1
  226. \& asn1 = SEQUENCE:seq_section
  227. \&
  228. \& [seq_section]
  229. \&
  230. \& field1 = BOOLEAN:TRUE
  231. \& field2 = OID:commonName
  232. \& field3 = UTF8:Third field
  233. .Ve
  234. .PP
  235. This example produces an RSAPrivateKey structure, this is the
  236. key contained in the file client.pem in all OpenSSL distributions

  238. for clarity):
