Variables

var ErrUnsupportedAlgorithm = errors.New("crypto/x509: cannot verify signature: algorithm unimplemented")

ErrUnsupportedAlgorithm results from attempting to perform an operation that involves algorithms that are not currently implemented.

func CreateCertificate

func CreateCertificate(rand io.Reader, template, parent *Certificate, pub interface{}, priv interface{}) (cert []byte, err error)

CreateCertificate creates a new certificate based on a template. The following members of template are used: SerialNumber, Subject, NotBefore, NotAfter, KeyUsage, BasicConstraintsValid, IsCA, MaxPathLen, SubjectKeyId, DNSNames, PermittedDNSDomainsCritical, PermittedDNSDomains.

The certificate is signed by parent. If parent is equal to template then the certificate is self-signed. The parameter pub is the public key of the signee and priv is the private key of the signer.

The returned slice is the certificate in DER encoding.

The only supported key type is RSA (*rsa.PublicKey for pub, *rsa.PrivateKey for priv).

func MarshalPKCS1PrivateKey

func MarshalPKCS1PrivateKey(key *rsa.PrivateKey) []byte

MarshalPKCS1PrivateKey converts a private key to ASN.1 DER encoded form.

func MarshalPKIXPublicKey

func MarshalPKIXPublicKey(pub interface{}) ([]byte, error)

MarshalPKIXPublicKey serialises a public key to DER-encoded PKIX format.

func ParseCRL

func ParseCRL(crlBytes []byte) (certList *pkix.CertificateList, err error)

ParseCRL parses a CRL from the given bytes. It's often the case that PEM encoded CRLs will appear where they should be DER encoded, so this function will transparently handle PEM encoding as long as there isn't any leading garbage.

func ParseCertificates

func ParseCertificates(asn1Data []byte) ([]*Certificate, error)

ParseCertificates parses one or more certificates from the given ASN.1 DER data. The certificates must be concatenated with no intermediate padding.

func ParseDERCRL

func ParseDERCRL(derBytes []byte) (certList *pkix.CertificateList, err error)

ParseDERCRL parses a DER encoded CRL from the given bytes.

func ParsePKCS1PrivateKey

func ParsePKCS1PrivateKey(der []byte) (key *rsa.PrivateKey, err error)

ParsePKCS1PrivateKey returns an RSA private key from its ASN.1 PKCS#1 DER encoded form.

func ParsePKCS8PrivateKey

func ParsePKCS8PrivateKey(der []byte) (key interface{}, err error)

ParsePKCS8PrivateKey parses an unencrypted, PKCS#8 private key. See http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2130

func ParsePKIXPublicKey

func ParsePKIXPublicKey(derBytes []byte) (pub interface{}, err error)

ParsePKIXPublicKey parses a DER encoded public key. These values are typically found in PEM blocks with "BEGIN PUBLIC KEY".

type CertPool

type CertPool struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CertPool is a set of certificates.

func NewCertPool

func NewCertPool() *CertPool

NewCertPool returns a new, empty CertPool.

func (*CertPool) AddCert

func (s *CertPool) AddCert(cert *Certificate)

AddCert adds a certificate to a pool.

func (*CertPool) AppendCertsFromPEM

func (s *CertPool) AppendCertsFromPEM(pemCerts []byte) (ok bool)

AppendCertsFromPEM attempts to parse a series of PEM encoded certificates. It appends any certificates found to s and returns true if any certificates were successfully parsed.

On many Linux systems, /etc/ssl/cert.pem will contain the system wide set of root CAs in a format suitable for this function.

func (*CertPool) Subjects

func (s *CertPool) Subjects() (res [][]byte)

Subjects returns a list of the DER-encoded subjects of all of the certificates in the pool.

type Certificate

type Certificate struct {
    Raw                     []byte // Complete ASN.1 DER content (certificate, signature algorithm and signature).
    RawTBSCertificate       []byte // Certificate part of raw ASN.1 DER content.
    RawSubjectPublicKeyInfo []byte // DER encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo.
    RawSubject              []byte // DER encoded Subject
    RawIssuer               []byte // DER encoded Issuer

    ExtKeyUsage        []ExtKeyUsage           // Sequence of extended key usages.
    UnknownExtKeyUsage []asn1.ObjectIdentifier // Encountered extended key usages unknown to this package.

    BasicConstraintsValid bool // if true then the next two fields are valid.
    IsCA                  bool
    MaxPathLen            int

    SubjectKeyId   []byte
    AuthorityKeyId []byte

    // Subject Alternate Name values
    DNSNames       []string
    EmailAddresses []string

    // Name constraints
    PermittedDNSDomainsCritical bool // if true then the name constraints are marked critical.
    PermittedDNSDomains         []string

    PolicyIdentifiers []asn1.ObjectIdentifier
}

A Certificate represents an X.509 certificate.

func ParseCertificate

func ParseCertificate(asn1Data []byte) (*Certificate, error)

ParseCertificate parses a single certificate from the given ASN.1 DER data.

func (*Certificate) CheckCRLSignature

func (c *Certificate) CheckCRLSignature(crl *pkix.CertificateList) (err error)

CheckCRLSignature checks that the signature in crl is from c.

func (*Certificate) CheckSignature

func (c *Certificate) CheckSignature(algo SignatureAlgorithm, signed, signature []byte) (err error)

CheckSignature verifies that signature is a valid signature over signed from c's public key.

func (*Certificate) CheckSignatureFrom

func (c *Certificate) CheckSignatureFrom(parent *Certificate) (err error)

CheckSignatureFrom verifies that the signature on c is a valid signature from parent.

func (*Certificate) CreateCRL

func (c *Certificate) CreateCRL(rand io.Reader, priv interface{}, revokedCerts []pkix.RevokedCertificate, now, expiry time.Time) (crlBytes []byte, err error)

CreateCRL returns a DER encoded CRL, signed by this Certificate, that contains the given list of revoked certificates.

The only supported key type is RSA (*rsa.PrivateKey for priv).

func (*Certificate) Equal

func (c *Certificate) Equal(other *Certificate) bool

func (*Certificate) Verify

func (c *Certificate) Verify(opts VerifyOptions) (chains [][]*Certificate, err error)

Verify attempts to verify c by building one or more chains from c to a certificate in opts.Roots, using certificates in opts.Intermediates if needed. If successful, it returns one or more chains where the first element of the chain is c and the last element is from opts.Roots.

WARNING: this doesn't do any revocation checking.

func (*Certificate) VerifyHostname

func (c *Certificate) VerifyHostname(h string) error

VerifyHostname returns nil if c is a valid certificate for the named host. Otherwise it returns an error describing the mismatch.

type CertificateInvalidError

type CertificateInvalidError struct {
    Cert   *Certificate
    Reason InvalidReason
}

CertificateInvalidError results when an odd error occurs. Users of this library probably want to handle all these errors uniformly.

func (CertificateInvalidError) Error

func (e CertificateInvalidError) Error() string

type ConstraintViolationError

type ConstraintViolationError struct{}

ConstraintViolationError results when a requested usage is not permitted by a certificate. For example: checking a signature when the public key isn't a certificate signing key.

func (ConstraintViolationError) Error

func (ConstraintViolationError) Error() string

type ExtKeyUsage

type ExtKeyUsage int

ExtKeyUsage represents an extended set of actions that are valid for a given key. Each of the ExtKeyUsage* constants define a unique action.

type InvalidReason

type InvalidReason int
const (
    // NotAuthorizedToSign results when a certificate is signed by another
    // which isn't marked as a CA certificate.
    NotAuthorizedToSign InvalidReason = iota
    // Expired results when a certificate has expired, based on the time
    // given in the VerifyOptions.
    Expired
    // CANotAuthorizedForThisName results when an intermediate or root
    // certificate has a name constraint which doesn't include the name

type VerifyOptions

type VerifyOptions struct {
    DNSName       string
    Intermediates *CertPool
    Roots         *CertPool // if nil, the system roots are used
    CurrentTime   time.Time // if zero, the current time is used
}

VerifyOptions contains parameters for Certificate.Verify. It's a structure because other PKIX verification APIs have ended up needing many options.
