76=head1 DESCRIPTION
77
78Signed Certificate Timestamps (SCTs) are defined by RFC 6962, Section 3.2.
79They constitute a promise by a Certificate Transparency (CT) log to publicly
80record a certificate. By cryptographically verifying that a log did indeed issue
81an SCT, some confidence can be gained that the certificate is publicly known.
82
83An internal representation of an SCT can be created in one of two ways.
84The first option is to create a blank SCT, using SCT_new(), and then populate
85it using:
86
87=over 2
88
89=item *
90
91SCT_set_version() to set the SCT version.
92
93Only SCT_VERSION_V1 is currently supported.
94
95=item *
96
97SCT_set_log_entry_type() to set the type of certificate the SCT was issued for:
98
99B<CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_X509> for a normal certificate.
100B<CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_PRECERT> for a pre-certificate.
101
102=item *
103
104SCT_set0_log_id() or SCT_set1_log_id() to set the LogID of the CT log that the SCT came from.
105
106The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy.
107See RFC 6962, Section 3.2 for the definition of LogID.
108
109=item *
110
111SCT_set_timestamp() to set the time the SCT was issued (epoch time in milliseconds).
112
113=item *
114
115SCT_set_signature_nid() to set the NID of the signature.
116
117=item *
118
119SCT_set0_signature() or SCT_set1_signature() to set the raw signature value.
120
121The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy.
122
123=item *
124
125SCT_set0_extensions() or B<SCT_set1_extensions> to provide SCT extensions.
126
127The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy.
128
129=back
130
131Alternatively, the SCT can be pre-populated from the following data using
132SCT_new_from_base64():
133
134=over 2
135
136=item *
137
138The SCT version (only SCT_VERSION_V1 is currently supported).
139
140=item *
141
142The LogID (see RFC 6962, Section 3.2), base64 encoded.
143
144=item *
145
146The type of certificate the SCT was issued for:
147B<CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_X509> for a normal certificate.
148B<CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_PRECERT> for a pre-certificate.
149
150=item *
151
152The time that the SCT was issued (epoch time in milliseconds).
153
154=item *
155
156The SCT extensions, base64 encoded.
157
158=item *
159
160The SCT signature, base64 encoded.
161
162=back
163
164SCT_set_source() can be used to record where the SCT was found
165(TLS extension, X.509 certificate extension or OCSP response). This is not
166required for verifying the SCT.
167
168=head1 NOTES
169
170Some of the setters return int, instead of void. These will all return 1 on
171success, 0 on failure. They will not make changes on failure.
172
173All of the setters will reset the validation status of the SCT to
174SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET (see L<SCT_validate(3)>).
175
176SCT_set_source() will call SCT_set_log_entry_type() if the type of
177certificate the SCT was issued for can be inferred from where the SCT was found.
178For example, an SCT found in an X.509 extension must have been issued for a pre-
179certificate.
180
181SCT_set_source() will not refuse unknown values.
182
183=head1 RETURN VALUES
184
185SCT_set_version() returns 1 if the specified version is supported, 0 otherwise.
186
187SCT_set_log_entry_type() returns 1 if the specified log entry type is supported, 0 otherwise.
188
189SCT_set0_log_id() and B<SCT_set1_log_id> return 1 if the specified LogID is a
190valid SHA-256 hash, 0 otherwise. Additionally, B<SCT_set1_log_id> returns 0 if
191malloc fails.
192
193B<SCT_set_signature_nid> returns 1 if the specified NID is supported, 0 otherwise.
194
195B<SCT_set1_extensions> and B<SCT_set1_signature> return 1 if the supplied buffer
196is copied successfully, 0 otherwise (i.e. if malloc fails).
197
198B<SCT_set_source> returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
