Name
int wc_InitCert(Cert * )
This function initializes a default cert, with the default options: version = 3 (0x2), serial = 0, sigType = SHA_WITH_RSA, issuer = blank, daysValid = 500, selfSigned = 1 (true) use subject as issuer, subject = blank.
Cert * wc_CertNew(void * heap)
This function allocates a new Cert structure for use during cert operations without the application having to allocate the structure itself. The Cert structure is also initialized by this function thus removing the need to call wc_InitCert(). When the application is finished using the allocated Cert structure wc_CertFree() must be called.
void wc_CertFree(Cert * cert)
This function frees the memory allocated for a cert structure by a previous call to wc_CertNew().
int wc_MakeCert(Cert * cert, byte * derBuffer, word32 derSz, RsaKey * rsaKey, ecc_key * eccKey, WC_RNG * rng)
Used to make CA signed certs. Called after the subject information has been entered. This function makes an x509 Certificate v3 RSA or ECC from a cert input. It then writes this cert to derBuffer. It takes in either an rsaKey or an eccKey to generate the certificate. The certificate must be initialized with wc_InitCert before this method is called.
int wc_MakeCertReq(Cert * cert, byte * derBuffer, word32 derSz, RsaKey * rsaKey, ecc_key * eccKey)
This function makes a certificate signing request using the input certificate and writes the output to derBuffer. It takes in either an rsaKey or an eccKey to generate the certificate request. wc_SignCert() will need to be called after this function to sign the certificate request. Please see the wolfCrypt test application (./wolfcrypt/test/test.c) for an example usage of this function.

This function initializes the DecodedCert pointed to by the "cert" parameter. It saves the "source" pointer to a DER-encoded certificate of length "inSz." This certificate can be parsed by a subsequent call to wc_ParseCert.
int wc_ParseCert(DecodedCert * cert, int type, int verify, void * cm)

time_t wc_Time(time_t * t)
This function gets the current time. By default, it uses the XTIME macro, which varies between platforms. The user can use a function of their choosing instead via the wc_SetTimeCb function.
int wc_SetCustomExtension(Cert * cert, int critical, const char * oid, const byte * der, word32 derSz)
This function injects a custom extension in to an X.509 certificate. note: The content at the address pointed to by any of the parameters that are pointers must not be modified until the certificate is generated and you have the der output. This function does NOT copy the contents to another buffer.
int wc_SetUnknownExtCallback(DecodedCert * cert, wc_UnknownExtCallback cb)

)

This function converts the ECC public key to DER format. It returns the size of buffer used. The public ECC key in DER format is stored in output buffer. The with_AlgCurve flag will include a header that has the Algorithm and Curve information. The comp parameter determines if the public key will be exported as compressed.

Parameters:

  • key Pointer to ECC key
  • output Pointer to output buffer to write to.
  • inLen Size of buffer.
  • with_AlgCurve a flag for when to include a header that has the Algorithm and Curve information.
  • comp If 1 (non-zero) the ECC public key will be written in compressed form. If 0 it will be written in an uncompressed format.

See:

Return:

  • 0 Success, size of buffer used

  • BAD_FUNC_ARG Returned if output or key is null.
  • LENGTH_ONLY_E Error in getting ECC public key size.
  • BUFFER_E Returned when output buffer is too small.

Example

ecc_key key;
wc_ecc_init(&key);
WC_RNG rng;
wc_InitRng(&rng);
wc_ecc_make_key(&rng, 32, &key);
int derSz = // Some appropriate size for der;
byte der[derSz];

// Write out a compressed ECC key
if(wc_EccPublicKeyToDer_ex(&key, der, derSz, 1, 1) < 0)
{
    // Error converting ECC public key to der
}

  • digest pointer to the digest to use to encode the signature
  • digSz the length of the buffer containing the digest
  • hashOID OID identifying the hash type used to generate the signature.

Parameters:

  • cert pointer to an uninitialized certificate information structure.

See:

Return:

...
derSize = wc_EccKeyToDer(&eccKey, der, derSize);

Return: 0 Returned on success.

Example

int ret = 0;

This function injects a custom extension in to an X.509 certificate. note: The content at the address pointed to by any of the parameters that are pointers must not be modified until the certificate is generated and you have the der output. This function does NOT copy the contents to another buffer.

Parameters:

  • cert Pointer to an initialized DecodedCert object.

  • cb function to register as the time callback.

See:

Return:

  • 0 Returned on success.
  • Other negative values on failure.

                         const unsigned char* der, word32 derSz);

// Register it
ret = wc_SetUnknownExtCallback(cert, myUnknownExtCallback);
if (ret != 0) {
    // failed to set the callback
}

// oid: Array of integers that are the dot separated values in an oid.
// oidSz: Number of values in oid.
// crit: Whether the extension was mark critical.
// der: The der encoding of the content of the extension.
// derSz: The size in bytes of the der encoding.

                        const unsigned char* der, word32 derSz) {

    // Logic to parse extension goes here.

    // NOTE: by returning zero, we are accepting this extension and
    // informing wolfSSL that it is acceptable. If you find an extension
    // that you do not find acceptable, you should return an error. The
    // standard behavior upon encountering an unknown extension with the
    // critical flag set is to return ASN_CRIT_EXT_E. For the sake of
    // brevity, this example is always accepting every extension; you
    // should use different logic.
