|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
\&\fIPKCS7_verify()\fR verifies a PKCS#7 signedData structure. \fBp7\fR is the \s-1PKCS7\s0
|
|
structure to verify. \fBcerts\fR is a set of certificates in which to search for
|
|
the signer's certificate. \fBstore\fR is a trusted certficate store (used for
|
|
chain verification). \fBindata\fR is the signed data if the content is not
|
|
present in \fBp7\fR (that is it is detached). The content is written to \fBout\fR
|
|
if it is not \s-1NULL\s0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fBflags\fR is an optional set of flags, which can be used to modify the verify
|
|
operation.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIPKCS7_get0_signers()\fR retrieves the signer's certificates from \fBp7\fR, it does
|
|
\&\fBnot\fR check their validity or whether any signatures are valid. The \fBcerts\fR
|
|
and \fBflags\fR parameters have the same meanings as in \fIPKCS7_verify()\fR.
|
|
.SH "VERIFY PROCESS"
|
|
.IX Header "VERIFY PROCESS"
|
|
Normally the verify process proceeds as follows.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Initially some sanity checks are performed on \fBp7\fR. The type of \fBp7\fR must
|
|
be signedData. There must be at least one signature on the data and if
|
|
the content is detached \fBindata\fR cannot be \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
An attempt is made to locate all the signer's certificates, first looking in
|
|
the \fBcerts\fR parameter (if it is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR) and then looking in any certificates
|
|
contained in the \fBp7\fR structure itself. If any signer's certificates cannot be
|
|
located the operation fails.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Each signer's certificate is chain verified using the \fBsmimesign\fR purpose and
|
|
the supplied trusted certificate store. Any internal certificates in the message
|
|
are used as untrusted CAs. If any chain verify fails an error code is returned.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Finally the signed content is read (and written to \fBout\fR is it is not \s-1NULL\s0) and
|
|
the signature's checked.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If all signature's verify correctly then the function is successful.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the \fBflags\fR parameter
|
|
to change the default verify behaviour. Only the flag \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOINTERN\s0\fR is
|
|
meaningful to \fIPKCS7_get0_signers()\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOINTERN\s0\fR is set the certificates in the message itself are not
|
|
searched when locating the signer's certificate. This means that all the signers
|
|
certificates must be in the \fBcerts\fR parameter.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fB\s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0\fR flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type \fBtext/plain\fR are deleted
|
|
from the content. If the content is not of type \fBtext/plain\fR then an error is
|
|
returned.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOVERIFY\s0\fR is set the signer's certificates are not chain verified.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOCHAIN\s0\fR is set then the certificates contained in the message are
|
|
not used as untrusted CAs. This means that the whole verify chain (apart from
|
|
the signer's certificate) must be contained in the trusted store.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOSIGS\s0\fR is set then the signatures on the data are not checked.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
One application of \fB\s-1PKCS7_NOINTERN\s0\fR is to only accept messages signed by
|
|
a small number of certificates. The acceptable certificates would be passed
|
|
in the \fBcerts\fR parameter. In this case if the signer is not one of the
|
|
certificates supplied in \fBcerts\fR then the verify will fail because the
|
|
signer cannot be found.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Care should be taken when modifying the default verify behaviour, for example
|
|
setting \fBPKCS7_NOVERIFY|PKCS7_NOSIGS\fR will totally disable all verification
|
|
and any signed message will be considered valid. This combination is however
|
|
useful if one merely wishes to write the content to \fBout\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"
|
|
\&\fIPKCS7_verify()\fR returns 1 for a successful verification and zero or a negative
|
|
value if an error occurs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIPKCS7_get0_signers()\fR returns all signers or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurred.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)
|
|
.SH "BUGS"
|
|
.IX Header "BUGS"
|
|
The trusted certificate store is not searched for the signers certificate,
|
|
this is primarily due to the inadequacies of the current \fBX509_STORE\fR
|
|
functionality.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as
|
|
mentioned in \fIPKCS7_sign()\fR also applies to \fIPKCS7_verify()\fR.
