		int(*)(void *, mbedtls_x509_crt *, int, uint32_t *)	f_vrfy,
		void *	p_vrfy
	)

Verify the certificate signature.

The verify callback is a user-supplied callback that can clear / modify / add flags for a certificate. If set, the verification callback is called for each certificate in the chain (from the trust-ca down to the presented crt). The parameters for the callback are: (void *parameter, mbedtls_x509_crt *crt, int certificate_depth, int *flags). With the flags representing current flags for that specific certificate and the certificate depth from the bottom (Peer cert depth = 0).

All flags left after returning from the callback are also returned to the application. The function should return 0 for anything (including invalid certificates) other than fatal error, as a non-zero return code immediately aborts the verification process. For fatal errors, a specific error code should be used (different from MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_CERT_VERIFY_FAILED which should not be returned at this point), or MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_FATAL_ERROR can be used if no better code is available.

Note

In case verification failed, the results can be displayed using mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info()

Same as mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile() with the default security profile.

It is your responsibility to provide up-to-date CRLs for all trusted CAs. If no CRL is provided for the CA that was used to sign the certificate, CRL verification is skipped silently, that is without setting any flag.

Parameters

crt	a certificate (chain) to be verified
trust_ca	the list of trusted CAs
ca_crl	the list of CRLs for trusted CAs (see note above)
cn	expected Common Name (can be set to NULL if the CN must not be verified)
flags	result of the verification
f_vrfy	verification function
p_vrfy	verification parameter

Returns

0 (and flags set to 0) if the chain was verified and valid, MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_CERT_VERIFY_FAILED if the chain was verified but found to be invalid, in which case *flags will have one or more MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_XXX or MBEDTLS_X509_BADCRL_XXX flags set, or another error (and flags set to 0xffffffff) in case of a fatal error encountered during the verification process.

int mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_info	(	char *	buf,
		size_t	size,
		const char *	prefix,
		uint32_t	flags
	)

Returns an informational string about the verification status of a certificate.

Parameters

buf	Buffer to write to
size	Maximum size of buffer
prefix	A line prefix
flags	Verification flags created by mbedtls_x509_crt_verify()

Returns

The length of the string written (not including the terminated nul byte), or a negative error code.

int mbedtls_x509_crt_verify_with_profile	(	mbedtls_x509_crt *	crt,
		mbedtls_x509_crt *	trust_ca,
		mbedtls_x509_crl *	ca_crl,
		const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile *	profile,
		const char *	cn,
		uint32_t *	flags,
		int(*)(void *, mbedtls_x509_crt *, int, uint32_t *)	f_vrfy,
		void *	p_vrfy
	)

Verify the certificate signature according to profile.

Note

Same as mbedtls_x509_crt_verify(), but with explicit security profile.

The restrictions on keys (RSA minimum size, allowed curves for ECDSA) apply to all certificates: trusted root, intermediate CAs if any, and end entity certificate.

Parameters

crt	a certificate (chain) to be verified
trust_ca	the list of trusted CAs
ca_crl	the list of CRLs for trusted CAs
profile	security profile for verification
cn	expected Common Name (can be set to NULL if the CN must not be verified)
flags	result of the verification
f_vrfy	verification function
p_vrfy	verification parameter

Returns

0 if successful or MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_CERT_VERIFY_FAILED in which case *flags will have one or more MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_XXX or MBEDTLS_X509_BADCRL_XXX flags set, or another error in case of a fatal error encountered during the verification process.

Variable Documentation

const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_default

Default security profile. Should provide a good balance between security and compatibility with current deployments.

const mbedtls_x509_crt_profile mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_next

Expected next default profile. Recommended for new deployments. Currently targets a 128-bit security level, except for RSA-2048.
