31=head1 DESCRIPTION
32
33A B<CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX> is used by functions that evaluate whether Signed
34Certificate Timestamps (SCTs) fulfil a Certificate Transparency (CT) policy.
35This policy may be, for example, that at least one valid SCT is available. To
36determine this, an SCT's timestamp and signature must be verified.
37This requires:
38
39=over 2
40
41=item *
42
43the public key of the log that issued the SCT
44
45=item *
46
47the certificate that the SCT was issued for
48
49=item *
50
51the issuer certificate (if the SCT was issued for a pre-certificate)
52
53=item *
54
55the current time
56
57=back
58
59The above requirements are met using the setters described below.
60
61CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_new_ex() creates an empty policy evaluation context
62and associates it with the given library context I<libctx> and property query
63string I<propq>.
64
65CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_new() does the same thing as
66CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_new_ex() except that it uses the default library
67context and property query string.
68
69The CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX should then be populated using:
70
71=over 2
72
73=item *
74
75CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_set1_cert() to provide the certificate the SCTs were issued for
76
77Increments the reference count of the certificate.
78
79=item *
80
81CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_set1_issuer() to provide the issuer certificate
82
83Increments the reference count of the certificate.
84
85=item *
86
87CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_set_shared_CTLOG_STORE() to provide a list of logs that are trusted as sources of SCTs
88
89Holds a pointer to the CTLOG_STORE, so the CTLOG_STORE must outlive the
90CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX.
91
92=item *
93
94CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_set_time() to set the time SCTs should be compared with to determine if they are valid
95
96The SCT timestamp will be compared to this time to check whether the SCT was
97issued in the future. RFC6962 states that "TLS clients MUST reject SCTs whose
98timestamp is in the future". By default, this will be set to 5 minutes in the
99future (e.g. (time() + 300) * 1000), to allow for clock drift.
100
101The time should be in milliseconds since the Unix Epoch.
102
103=back
104
105Each setter has a matching getter for accessing the current value.
106
107When no longer required, the B<CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX> should be passed to
108CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_free() to delete it.
109
110=head1 NOTES
111
112The issuer certificate only needs to be provided if at least one of the SCTs
113was issued for a pre-certificate. This will be the case for SCTs embedded in a
114certificate (i.e. those in an X.509 extension), but may not be the case for SCTs
115found in the TLS SCT extension or OCSP response.
116
117=head1 RETURN VALUES
118
119CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_new_ex() and CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_new() will return
120NULL if malloc fails.
