<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

Signed Certificate Timestamps (SCTs) are defined by RFC 6962, Section 3.2. They constitute a promise by a Certificate Transparency (CT) log to publicly record a certificate. By cryptographically verifying that a log did indeed issue an SCT, some confidence can be gained that the certificate is publicly known.

An internal representation of an SCT can be created in one of two ways. The first option is to create a blank SCT, using SCT_new(), and then populate it using:

<ul>

<li>SCT_set_version() to set the SCT version.

Only SCT_VERSION_V1 is currently supported.

</li>
<li>SCT_set_log_entry_type() to set the type of certificate the SCT was issued for:

CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_X509 for a normal certificate. CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_PRECERT for a pre-certificate.

</li>
<li>SCT_set0_log_id() or SCT_set1_log_id() to set the LogID of the CT log that the SCT came from.

The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy. See RFC 6962, Section 3.2 for the definition of LogID.

</li>
<li>SCT_set_timestamp() to set the time the SCT was issued (epoch time in milliseconds).

</li>
<li>SCT_set_signature_nid() to set the NID of the signature.

</li>
<li>SCT_set0_signature() or SCT_set1_signature() to set the raw signature value.

The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy.

</li>
<li>SCT_set0_extensions() or SCT_set1_extensions to provide SCT extensions.

The former takes ownership, whereas the latter makes a copy.

</li>
</ul>

Alternatively, the SCT can be pre-populated from the following data using SCT_new_from_base64():

<ul>

<li>The SCT version (only SCT_VERSION_V1 is currently supported).

</li>
<li>The LogID (see RFC 6962, Section 3.2), base64 encoded.

</li>
<li>The type of certificate the SCT was issued for: CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_X509 for a normal certificate. CT_LOG_ENTRY_TYPE_PRECERT for a pre-certificate.

</li>
<li>The time that the SCT was issued (epoch time in milliseconds).

</li>
<li>The SCT extensions, base64 encoded.

</li>
<li>The SCT signature, base64 encoded.

</li>
</ul>

SCT_set_source() can be used to record where the SCT was found (TLS extension, X.509 certificate extension or OCSP response). This is not required for verifying the SCT.

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

Some of the setters return int, instead of void. These will all return 1 on success, 0 on failure. They will not make changes on failure.

All of the setters will reset the validation status of the SCT to SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET (see <a href="../man3/SCT_validate.html">SCT_validate(3)</a>).

SCT_set_source() will call SCT_set_log_entry_type() if the type of certificate the SCT was issued for can be inferred from where the SCT was found. For example, an SCT found in an X.509 extension must have been issued for a pre- certificate.

SCT_set_source() will not refuse unknown values.

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

SCT_set_version() returns 1 if the specified version is supported, 0 otherwise.

SCT_set_log_entry_type() returns 1 if the specified log entry type is supported, 0 otherwise.

SCT_set0_log_id() and SCT_set1_log_id return 1 if the specified LogID is a valid SHA-256 hash, 0 otherwise. Additionally, SCT_set1_log_id returns 0 if malloc fails.

SCT_set_signature_nid returns 1 if the specified NID is supported, 0 otherwise.

SCT_set1_extensions and SCT_set1_signature return 1 if the supplied buffer is copied successfully, 0 otherwise (i.e. if malloc fails).

SCT_set_source returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
