give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
OCSP_request_add1_nonce, OCSP_basic_add1_nonce, OCSP_check_nonce, OCSP_copy_nonce - OCSP nonce functions
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/ocsp.h> \& int OCSP_request_add1_nonce(OCSP_REQUEST *req, unsigned char *val, int len); int OCSP_basic_add1_nonce(OCSP_BASICRESP *resp, unsigned char *val, int len); int OCSP_copy_nonce(OCSP_BASICRESP *resp, OCSP_REQUEST *req); int OCSP_check_nonce(OCSP_REQUEST *req, OCSP_BASICRESP *resp); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBOCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce of value val and length len to \s-1OCSP\s0 request req. If val is \s-1NULL\s0 a random nonce is used. If len is zero or negative a default length will be used (currently 16 bytes).

\fBOCSP_basic_add1_nonce() is identical to OCSP_request_add1_nonce() except it adds a nonce to \s-1OCSP\s0 basic response resp.

\fBOCSP_check_nonce() compares the nonce value in req and resp.

\fBOCSP_copy_nonce() copies any nonce value present in req to resp.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBOCSP_request_add1_nonce() and OCSP_basic_add1_nonce() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

\fBOCSP_copy_nonce() returns 1 if a nonce was successfully copied, 2 if no nonce was present in req and 0 if an error occurred.

\fBOCSP_check_nonce() returns the result of the nonce comparison between req and resp. The return value indicates the result of the comparison. If nonces are present and equal 1 is returned. If the nonces are absent 2 is returned. If a nonce is present in the response only 3 is returned. If nonces are present and unequal 0 is returned. If the nonce is present in the request only then -1 is returned.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" For most purposes the nonce value in a request is set to a random value so the val parameter in OCSP_request_add1_nonce() is usually \s-1NULL.\s0

An \s-1OCSP\s0 nonce is typically added to an \s-1OCSP\s0 request to thwart replay attacks by checking the same nonce value appears in the response.

Some responders may include a nonce in all responses even if one is not supplied.

Some responders cache \s-1OCSP\s0 responses and do not sign each response for performance reasons. As a result they do not support nonces.

The return values of OCSP_check_nonce() can be checked to cover each case. A positive return value effectively indicates success: nonces are both present and match, both absent or present in the response only. A nonzero return additionally covers the case where the nonce is present in the request only: this will happen if the responder doesn't support nonces. A zero return value indicates present and mismatched nonces: this should be treated as an error condition.
