| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| These functions implement support for DANE TLSA (RFC6698 and RFC7671) |
| peer authentication. |
| |
| SSL_CTX_dane_enable() must be called first to initialize the |
| shared state required for DANE support. Individual connections |
| associated with the context can then enable per-connection DANE |
| support as appropriate. DANE authentication is implemented in the |
| L<X509_verify_cert(3)> function, and applications that override |
| L<X509_verify_cert(3)> via L<SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(3)> |
| are responsible to authenticate the peer chain in whatever manner |
| they see fit. |
| |
| SSL_CTX_dane_mtype_set() may then be called zero or more times to |
| to adjust the supported digest algorithms. This must be done before |
| any SSL handles are created for the context. |
| |
| The B<mtype> argument specifies a DANE TLSA matching type and the |
| B<md> argument specifies the associated digest algorithm handle. |
| The B<ord> argument specifies a strength ordinal. Algorithms with |
| a larger strength ordinal are considered more secure. Strength |
| ordinals are used to implement RFC7671 digest algorithm agility. |
| Specifying a B<NULL> digest algorithm for a matching type disables |
| support for that matching type. Matching type Full(0) cannot be |
| modified or disabled. |
| |
| By default, matching type C<SHA2-256(1)> (see RFC7218 for definitions |
| of the DANE TLSA parameter acronyms) is mapped to C<EVP_sha256()> |
| with a strength ordinal of C<1> and matching type C<SHA2-512(2)> |
| is mapped to C<EVP_sha512()> with a strength ordinal of C<2>. |
| |
| SSL_dane_enable() may be called before the SSL handshake is |
| initiated with L<SSL_connect(3)> to enable DANE for that connection. |
| (The connection must be associated with a DANE-enabled SSL context). |
| The B<basedomain> argument specifies the RFC7671 TLSA base domain, |
| which will be the primary peer reference identifier for certificate |
| name checks. Additional server names can be specified via |
| L<SSL_add1_host(3)>. The B<basedomain> is used as the default SNI |
| hint if none has yet been specified via L<SSL_set_tlsext_host_name(3)>. |
| |
| SSL_dane_tlsa_add() may then be called one or more times, to |
| load each of the TLSA records that apply to the remote TLS peer. |
| (This too must be done prior to the beginning of the SSL handshake). |
| The arguments specify the fields of the TLSA record. The B<data> |
| field is provided in binary (wire RDATA) form, not the hexadecimal ASCII |
| presentation form, with an explicit length passed via B<dlen>. |
| A return value of 0 indicates that "unusable" TLSA records |
| (with invalid or unsupported parameters) were provided, a negative |
| return value indicates an internal error in processing the records. |
| If DANE authentication is enabled, but no TLSA records are added |
| successfully, authentication will fail, and the handshake may not |
| complete, depending on the B<mode> argument of L<SSL_set_verify(3)> |
| and any verification callback. |
| |
| SSL_get0_dane_authority() can be used to get more detailed information |
| about the matched DANE trust-anchor after successful connection |
| completion. The return value is negative if DANE verification |
| failed (or was not enabled), 0 if an EE TLSA record directly matched |
| the leaf certificate, or a positive number indicating the depth at |
| which a TA record matched an issuer certificate. |
| |
| If the B<mcert> argument is not B<NULL> and a TLSA record matched |
| a chain certificate, a pointer to the matching certificate is |
| returned via B<mcert>. The returned address is a short-term internal |
| reference to the certificate and must not be freed by the application. |
| Applications that want to retain access to the certificate can call |
| L<X509_up_ref(3)> to obtain a long-term reference which must then |
| be freed via L<X509_free(3)> once no longer needed. |
| |
| If no TLSA records directly matched any elements of the certificate |
| chain, but a DANE-TA(2) SPKI(1) Full(0) record provided the public |
| key that signed an element of the chain, then that key is returned |
| via B<mspki> argument (if not NULL). In this case the return value |
| is the depth of the top-most element of the validated certificate |
| chain. As with B<mcert> this is a short-term internal reference, |
| and L<EVP_PKEY_up_ref(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_free(3)> can be used to |
| acquire and release long-term references respectively. |
| |
| SSL_get0_dane_tlsa() can be used to retrieve the fields of the |
| TLSA record that matched the peer certificate chain. The return |
| value indicates the match depth or failure to match just as with |
| SSL_get0_dane_authority(). When the return value is non-negative, |
| the storage pointed to by the B<usage>, B<selector>, B<mtype> and |
| B<data> parameters is updated to the corresponding TLSA record |
| fields. The B<data> field is in binary wire form, and is therefore |
| not NUL-terminated, its length is returned via the B<dlen> parameter. |
| If any of these parameters is NULL, the corresponding field |
| is not returned. The B<data> parameter is set to a short-term |
| internal-copy of the associated data field and must not be freed |
| by the application. Applications that need long-term access to |
| this field need to copy the content. |
| |
| =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| |
| The functions SSL_CTX_dane_enable(), SSL_CTX_dane_mtype_set(), |
| SSL_dane_enable() and SSL_dane_tlsa_add() return a positive value |
| on success. Negative return values indicate resource problems (out |
| of memory, etc.) in the SSL library, while a return value of B<0> |
| indicates incorrect usage or invalid input, such as an unsupported |
| TLSA record certificate usage, selector or matching type. Invalid |
| input also includes malformed data, either a digest length that |
| does not match the digest algorithm, or a C<Full(0)> (binary ASN.1 |
| DER form) certificate or a public key that fails to parse. |
| |
| The functions SSL_get0_dane_authority() and SSL_get0_dane_tlsa() |
| return a negative value when DANE authentication failed or was not |
| enabled, a non-negative value indicates the chain depth at which |
| the TLSA record matched a chain certificate, or the depth of the |
| top-most certificate, when the TLSA record is a full public key |
| that is its signer. |
| |
| =head1 EXAMPLE |
| |
| Suppose "smtp.example.com" is the MX host of the domain "example.com", |
| and has DNSSEC-validated TLSA records. The calls below will perform |
| DANE authentication and arrange to match either the MX hostname or |
| the destination domain name in the SMTP server certificate. Wildcards |
| are supported, but must match the entire label. The actual name |
| matched in the certificate (which might be a wildcard) is retrieved, |
| and must be copied by the application if it is to be retained beyond |
| the lifetime of the SSL connection. |

| |
| =head1 NOTES |
| |
| It is expected that the majority of clients employing DANE TLS will |
| be doing "opportunistic DANE TLS" in the sense of RFC7672 and |
| RFC7435. That is, they will use DANE authentication when |
| DNSSEC-validated TLSA records are published for a given peer, and |
| otherwise will use unauthenticated TLS or even cleartext. |
| |
| Such applications should generally treat any TLSA records published |
| by the peer with usages PKIX-TA(0) and PKIX-EE(1) as "unusable", |
| and should not include them among the TLSA records used to authenticate |
| peer connections. In addition, some TLSA records with supported |
| usages may be "unusable" as a result of invalid or unsupported |
| parameters. |
| |
| When a peer has TLSA records, but none are "usable", an opportunistic |
| application must avoid cleartext, but cannot authenticate the peer, |
| and so should generally proceed with an unauthenticated connection. |
| Opportunistic applications need to note the return value of each |
| call to SSL_dane_tlsa_add(), and if all return 0 (due to invalid |
| or unsupported parameters) disable peer authentication by calling |
| L<SSL_set_verify(3)> with B<mode> equal to B<SSL_VERIFY_NONE>. |
