Package files

cert_pool.go pem_decrypt.go pkcs1.go pkcs8.go root.go root_linux.go root_unix.go sec1.go verify.go x509.go

Variables

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

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

var IncorrectPasswordError = errors.New("x509: decryption password incorrect")

IncorrectPasswordError is returned when an incorrect password is detected.

func CreateCertificate

func CreateCertificate(rand io.Reader, template, parent *Certificate, pub, 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, ExtKeyUsage, UnknownExtKeyUsage, BasicConstraintsValid, IsCA, MaxPathLen, SubjectKeyId, DNSNames, PermittedDNSDomainsCritical, PermittedDNSDomains, SignatureAlgorithm.

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.

All keys types that are implemented via crypto.Signer are supported (This includes *rsa.PublicKey and *ecdsa.PublicKey.)

func CreateCertificateRequest

func CreateCertificateRequest(rand io.Reader, template *CertificateRequest, priv interface{}) (csr []byte, err error)

CreateCertificateRequest creates a new certificate based on a template. The following members of template are used: Subject, Attributes, SignatureAlgorithm, Extensions, DNSNames, EmailAddresses, and IPAddresses. The private key is the private key of the signer.

The returned slice is the certificate request in DER encoding.

All keys types that are implemented via crypto.Signer are supported (This includes *rsa.PublicKey and *ecdsa.PublicKey.)

func DecryptPEMBlock

func DecryptPEMBlock(b *pem.Block, password []byte) ([]byte, error)

DecryptPEMBlock takes a password encrypted PEM block and the password used to encrypt it and returns a slice of decrypted DER encoded bytes. It inspects the DEK-Info header to determine the algorithm used for decryption. If no DEK-Info header is present, an error is returned. If an incorrect password is detected an IncorrectPasswordError is returned. Because of deficiencies in the encrypted-PEM format, it's not always possible to detect an incorrect password. In these cases no error will be returned but the decrypted DER bytes will be random noise.

func EncryptPEMBlock

func EncryptPEMBlock(rand io.Reader, blockType string, data, password []byte, alg PEMCipher) (*pem.Block, error)

EncryptPEMBlock returns a PEM block of the specified type holding the given DER-encoded data encrypted with the specified algorithm and password.

func IsEncryptedPEMBlock

func IsEncryptedPEMBlock(b *pem.Block) bool

IsEncryptedPEMBlock returns if the PEM block is password encrypted.

func MarshalECPrivateKey

func MarshalECPrivateKey(key *ecdsa.PrivateKey) ([]byte, error)

MarshalECPrivateKey marshals an EC private key into ASN.1, DER format.

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 ParseECPrivateKey

func ParseECPrivateKey(der []byte) (key *ecdsa.PrivateKey, err error)

ParseECPrivateKey parses an ASN.1 Elliptic Curve Private Key Structure.

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 and RFC5208.

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 reports whether 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.

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.

If opts.Roots is nil and system roots are unavailable the returned error will be of type SystemRootsError.

WARNING: this doesn't do any revocation checking.

Example

func (*Certificate) VerifyHostname
