| =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 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() must be called before the SSL handshake is initiated with |
| L<SSL_connect(3)> if (and only if) you want 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>. |
| The library takes a copy of the B<data> buffer contents and the caller may |
| free the original B<data> buffer when convenient. |
| 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 record. |
| |
| The caller is expected to check the return value of each SSL_dane_tlsa_add() |
| call and take appropriate action if none are usable or an internal error |
| is encountered in processing some records. |
| |
| If no TLSA records are added successfully, DANE authentication is not enabled, |
| and authentication will be based on any configured traditional trust-anchors; |
| authentication success in this case does not mean that the peer was |
| DANE-authenticated. |
| |
| 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. |
| The complete verified chain can be retrieved via L<SSL_get0_verified_chain(3)>. |
| The return value is an index into this verified chain, rather than the list of |
| certificates sent by the peer as returned by L<SSL_get_peer_cert_chain(3)>. |
| |
| 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 nonnegative, 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. |
| |
| SSL_CTX_dane_set_flags() and SSL_dane_set_flags() can be used to enable |
| optional DANE verification features. |
| SSL_CTX_dane_clear_flags() and SSL_dane_clear_flags() can be used to disable |
| the same features. |
| The B<flags> argument is a bit-mask of the features to enable or disable. |
| The B<flags> set for an B<SSL_CTX> context are copied to each B<SSL> handle |
| associated with that context at the time the handle is created. |
| Subsequent changes in the context's B<flags> have no effect on the B<flags> set |
| for the handle. |
| |
| At present, the only available option is B<DANE_FLAG_NO_DANE_EE_NAMECHECKS> |
| which can be used to disable server name checks when authenticating via |
| DANE-EE(3) TLSA records. |
| For some applications, primarily web browsers, it is not safe to disable name |
| checks due to "unknown key share" attacks, in which a malicious server can |
| convince a client that a connection to a victim server is instead a secure |
| connection to the malicious server. |
| The malicious server may then be able to violate cross-origin scripting |
| restrictions. |
| Thus, despite the text of RFC7671, name checks are by default enabled for |
| DANE-EE(3) TLSA records, and can be disabled in applications where it is safe |
| to do so. |
| In particular, SMTP and XMPP clients should set this option as SRV and MX |
| records already make it possible for a remote domain to redirect client |
| connections to any server of its choice, and in any case SMTP and XMPP clients |
| do not execute scripts downloaded from remote servers. |
| |
| =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 |
| nonnegative 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. |
| |
| The functions SSL_CTX_dane_set_flags(), SSL_CTX_dane_clear_flags(), |
| SSL_dane_set_flags() and SSL_dane_clear_flags() return the B<flags> in effect |
| before they were called. |
| |
| =head1 EXAMPLES |
| |
| 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>. |
