Detailed Description

A trust engine that uses X.509 trust anchors and CRLs associated with a peer to perform PKIX validation of signatures and credentials.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

xmltooling::AbstractPKIXTrustEngine::AbstractPKIXTrustEngine ( const xercesc::DOMElement *  e = NULL  )  [protected]

Constructor.

If a DOM is supplied, the following XML content is supported:

  • fullCRLChain boolean attribute
  • <KeyInfoResolver> elements with a type attribute

XML namespaces are ignored in the processing of this content.

Parameters:
e DOM to supply configuration for provider

Member Function Documentation

bool xmltooling::AbstractPKIXTrustEngine::checkEntityNames ( X509 *  certEE,
const CredentialResolver credResolver,
const CredentialCriteria criteria 
) const [protected]

Checks that either the name of the peer with the given credentials or the names of the credentials match the subject or subject alternate names of the certificate.

Parameters:
certEE the credential for the entity to validate
credResolver source of credentials
criteria criteria for selecting credentials, including the peer name
Returns:
true the name check succeeds, false if not
virtual PKIXValidationInfoIterator* xmltooling::AbstractPKIXTrustEngine::getPKIXValidationInfoIterator ( const CredentialResolver pkixSource,
CredentialCriteria criteria = NULL 
) const [pure virtual]

Provides access to the information necessary, for the given credential source, for PKIX validation of credentials.

Each set of validation information returned will be tried, in turn, until one succeeds or no more remain. The caller must free the returned interface when finished with it.

Parameters:
pkixSource the peer for which validation rules are required
criteria criteria for selecting validation rules
Returns:
interface for obtaining validation data
bool xmltooling::AbstractPKIXTrustEngine::validate ( X509 *  certEE,
STACK_OF(X509)*  certChain,
const CredentialResolver credResolver,
CredentialCriteria criteria = NULL 
) const [virtual]

Determines whether an X.509 credential is valid with respect to the source of credentials supplied.

It is the responsibility of the application to ensure that the credentials supplied are in fact associated with the peer who presented the credential.

If criteria with a peer name are supplied, the "name" of the EE certificate may also be checked to ensure that it identifies the intended peer. The peer name itself or implementation-specific rules based on the content of the peer credentials may be applied. Implementations may omit this check if they deem it unnecessary.

Parameters:
certEE end-entity certificate to validate
certChain the complete set of certificates presented for validation (includes certEE)
credResolver a locked resolver to supply trusted peer credentials to the TrustEngine
criteria criteria for selecting peer credentials

Implements xmltooling::OpenSSLTrustEngine.

bool xmltooling::AbstractPKIXTrustEngine::validate ( XSECCryptoX509 *  certEE,
const std::vector< XSECCryptoX509 * > &  certChain,
const CredentialResolver credResolver,
CredentialCriteria criteria = NULL 
) const [virtual]

Determines whether an X.509 credential is valid with respect to the source of credentials supplied.

It is the responsibility of the application to ensure that the credentials supplied are in fact associated with the peer who presented the credential.

If criteria with a peer name are supplied, the "name" of the EE certificate may also be checked to ensure that it identifies the intended peer. The peer name itself or implementation-specific rules based on the content of the peer credentials may be applied. Implementations may omit this check if they deem it unnecessary.

Parameters:
certEE end-entity certificate to validate
certChain the complete set of certificates presented for validation (includes certEE)
credResolver a locked resolver to supply trusted peer credentials to the TrustEngine
criteria criteria for selecting peer credentials

Implements xmltooling::X509TrustEngine.
