.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
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"
SCT_validate, SCT_LIST_validate, SCT_get_validation_status - checks Signed Certificate Timestamps (SCTs) are valid
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/ct.h> \& typedef enum { SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET, SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_LOG, SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_VALID, SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_INVALID, SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED, SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_VERSION } sct_validation_status_t; \& int SCT_validate(SCT *sct, const CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX *ctx); int SCT_LIST_validate(const STACK_OF(SCT) *scts, CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX *ctx); sct_validation_status_t SCT_get_validation_status(const SCT *sct); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBSCT_validate() will check that an \s-1SCT\s0 is valid and verify its signature. \fBSCT_LIST_validate() performs the same checks on an entire stack of SCTs. The result of the validation checks can be obtained by passing the \s-1SCT\s0 to \fBSCT_get_validation_status().

A \s-1CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX\s0 must be provided that specifies:

"\(bu" 2
The certificate the \s-1SCT\s0 was issued for. .Sp Failure to provide the certificate will result in the validation status being \s-1SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED.\s0
"\(bu" 2
The issuer of that certificate. .Sp This is only required if the \s-1SCT\s0 was issued for a pre-certificate (see \s-1RFC 6962\s0). If it is required but not provided, the validation status will be \s-1SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED.\s0
"\(bu" 2
A \s-1CTLOG_STORE\s0 that contains the \s-1CT\s0 log that issued this \s-1SCT.\s0 .Sp If the \s-1SCT\s0 was issued by a log that is not in this \s-1CTLOG_STORE,\s0 the validation status will be \s-1SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_LOG.\s0

If the \s-1SCT\s0 is of an unsupported version (only v1 is currently supported), the validation status will be \s-1SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_VERSION.\s0

If the \s-1SCT\s0's signature is incorrect, its timestamp is in the future (relative to the time in \s-1CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX\s0), or if it is otherwise invalid, the validation status will be \s-1SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_INVALID.\s0

If all checks pass, the validation status will be \s-1SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_VALID.\s0

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" A return value of 0 from SCT_LIST_validate() should not be interpreted as a failure. At a minimum, only one valid \s-1SCT\s0 may provide sufficient confidence that a certificate has been publicly logged.
"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBSCT_validate() returns a negative integer if an internal error occurs, 0 if the \s-1SCT\s0 fails validation, or 1 if the \s-1SCT\s0 passes validation.

\fBSCT_LIST_validate() returns a negative integer if an internal error occurs, 0 if any of SCTs fails validation, or 1 if they all pass validation.

\fBSCT_get_validation_status() returns the validation status of the \s-1SCT.\s0 If SCT_validate() or SCT_LIST_validate() have not been passed that \s-1SCT,\s0 the returned value will be \s-1SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET.\s0
