gnutls_privkey_generate ()

int
gnutls_privkey_generate (gnutls_privkey_t key,
                         gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo,
                         unsigned int bits,
                         unsigned int flags);

This function will generate a random private key. Note that this function must be called on an initialized private key.

The flag GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_PROVABLE instructs the key generation process to use algorithms like Shawe-Taylor (from FIPS PUB186-4) which generate provable parameters out of a seed for RSA and DSA keys. See gnutls_privkey_generate2() for more information.

Note that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve can be substituted in the place of the bits parameter using the GNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS() macro. The input to the macro is any curve from gnutls_ecc_curve_t.

For DSA keys, if the subgroup size needs to be specified check the GNUTLS_SUBGROUP_TO_BITS() macro.

It is recommended to do not set the number of bits directly, use gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits() instead .

See also gnutls_privkey_generate2().

Parameters

pkey

An initialized private key

 

algo

is one of the algorithms in gnutls_pk_algorithm_t.

 

bits

the size of the parameters to generate

 

flags

Must be zero or flags from gnutls_privkey_flags_t.

 

Returns

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

gnutls_privkey_generate2 ()

int
gnutls_privkey_generate2 (gnutls_privkey_t pkey,
                          gnutls_pk_algorithm_t algo,
                          unsigned int bits,
                          unsigned int flags,
                          const gnutls_keygen_data_st *data,
                          unsigned  data_size);

This function will generate a random private key. Note that this function must be called on an initialized private key.

The flag GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_PROVABLE instructs the key generation process to use algorithms like Shawe-Taylor (from FIPS PUB186-4) which generate provable parameters out of a seed for RSA and DSA keys. On DSA keys the PQG parameters are generated using the seed, while on RSA the two primes. To specify an explicit seed (by default a random seed is used), use the data with a GNUTLS_KEYGEN_SEED type.

Note that when generating an elliptic curve key, the curve can be substituted in the place of the bits parameter using the GNUTLS_CURVE_TO_BITS() macro.

To export the generated keys in memory or in files it is recommended to use the PKCS#8 form as it can handle all key types, and can store additional parameters such as the seed, in case of provable RSA or DSA keys. Generated keys can be exported in memory using gnutls_privkey_export_x509(), and then with gnutls_x509_privkey_export2_pkcs8().

If key generation is part of your application, avoid setting the number of bits directly, and instead use gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits(). That way the generated keys will adapt to the security levels of the underlying GnuTLS library.

                            void *userdata,
                            gnutls_privkey_sign_data_func sign_data_func,
                            gnutls_privkey_sign_hash_func sign_hash_func,

                            gnutls_privkey_info_func info_func,
                            unsigned int flags);

This function will associate the given callbacks with the gnutls_privkey_t type. At least one of the callbacks must be non-null. If a deinitialization function is provided then flags is assumed to contain GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_IMPORT_AUTO_RELEASE.

Note that in contrast with the signing function of gnutls_privkey_import_ext3(), the signing functions provided to this function take explicitly the signature algorithm as parameter and different functions are provided to sign the data and hashes.

The sign_hash_fn is to be called to sign pre-hashed data. The input to the callback is the output of the hash (such as SHA256) corresponding to the signature algorithm. For RSA PKCS#1 signatures, the signature algorithm can be set to GNUTLS_SIGN_RSA_RAW, and in that case the data should be handled as if they were an RSA PKCS#1 DigestInfo structure.

The sign_data_fn is to be called to sign data. The input data will be he data to be signed (and hashed), with the provided signature algorithm. This function is to be used for signature algorithms like Ed25519 which cannot take pre-hashed data as input.

When both sign_data_fn and sign_hash_fn functions are provided they must be able to operate on all the supported signature algorithms, unless prohibited by the type of the algorithm (e.g., as with Ed25519).

The info_fn must provide information on the signature algorithms supported by this private key, and should support the flags GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_INFO_PK_ALGO, GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_INFO_HAVE_SIGN_ALGO and GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_INFO_PK_ALGO_BITS. It must return -1 on unknown flags.

Parameters

pkey

The private key

 

userdata

private data to be provided to the callbacks

 

sign_data_fn

callback for signature operations (may be NULL)

 

sign_hash_fn

callback for signature operations (may be NULL)

 

decrypt_fn

deinit_fn

a deinitialization function

 

info_fn

returns info about the public key algorithm (should not be NULL)

                              unsigned int flags);

This function will sign the certificate with the issuer's private key, and will copy the issuer's information into the certificate.

This must be the last step in a certificate generation since all the previously set parameters are now signed.

A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed certificate will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until it is exported an re-imported.

After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN, and in that case, a suitable but reasonable for the key algorithm will be selected.

Parameters

crt

a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t

 

issuer

is the certificate of the certificate issuer

 

issuer_key

holds the issuer's private key

 

dig

The message digest to use, GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256 is a safe choice

 

flags

must be 0

 

Returns

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

                              unsigned int flags);

This function will sign the CRL with the issuer's private key, and will copy the issuer's information into the CRL.

This must be the last step in a certificate CRL since all the previously set parameters are now signed.

A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed CRL will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until it is exported an re-imported.

After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN, and in that case, a suitable but reasonable for the key algorithm will be selected.

Parameters

crl

should contain a gnutls_x509_crl_t type

 

issuer

is the certificate of the certificate issuer

 

issuer_key

holds the issuer's private key

 

dig

The message digest to use. GNUTLS_DIG_SHA256 is the safe choice unless you know what you're doing.

                              unsigned int flags);

This function will sign the certificate request with a private key. This must be the same key as the one used in gnutls_x509_crt_set_key() since a certificate request is self signed.

This must be the last step in a certificate request generation since all the previously set parameters are now signed.

A known limitation of this function is, that a newly-signed request will not be fully functional (e.g., for signature verification), until it is exported an re-imported.

After GnuTLS 3.6.1 the value of dig may be GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN, and in that case, a suitable but reasonable for the key algorithm will be selected.

Parameters

crq

should contain a gnutls_x509_crq_t type

 

key

holds a private key

 

dig

The message digest to use, i.e., GNUTLS_DIG_SHA1

 

flags

must be 0

 

Returns

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise a negative error code. GNUTLS_E_ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND is returned if you didn't set all information in the certificate request (e.g., the version using gnutls_x509_crq_set_version()).

gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function2 ()

void
gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function2
                               (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t cred,
                                gnutls_certificate_retrieve_function2 *func);

This function sets a callback to be called in order to retrieve the certificate to be used in the handshake. The callback will take control only if a certificate is requested by the peer.

The callback's function prototype is: int (*callback)(gnutls_session_t, const gnutls_datum_t* req_ca_dn, int nreqs, const gnutls_pk_algorithm_t* pk_algos, int pk_algos_length, gnutls_pcert_st** pcert, unsigned int *pcert_length, gnutls_privkey_t * pkey);

req_ca_dn is only used in X.509 certificates. Contains a list with the CA names that the server considers trusted. This is a hint and typically the client should send a certificate that is signed by one of these CAs. These names, when available, are DER encoded. To get a more meaningful value use the function gnutls_x509_rdn_get().

pk_algos contains a list with server's acceptable public key algorithms. The certificate returned should support the server's given algorithms.

pcert should contain a single certificate and public key or a list of them.

pcert_length is the size of the previous list.

pkey is the private key.

If the callback function is provided then gnutls will call it, in the handshake, after the certificate request message has been received. All the provided by the callback values will not be released or modified by gnutls.

In server side pk_algos and req_ca_dn are NULL.

The callback function should set the certificate list to be sent, and return 0 on success. If no certificate was selected then the number of certificates should be set to zero. The value (-1) indicates error and the handshake will be terminated. If both certificates are set in the credentials and a callback is available, the callback takes predence.

Parameters

cred

is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type.

 

func

is the callback function

gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function3 ()

void
gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function3
                               (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t cred,
                                gnutls_certificate_retrieve_function3 *func);

This function sets a callback to be called in order to retrieve the certificate and OCSP responses to be used in the handshake. func will be called only if the peer requests a certificate either during handshake or during post-handshake authentication.

The callback's function prototype is defined in `abstract.h':

int gnutls_certificate_retrieve_function3( gnutls_session_t, const struct gnutls_cert_retr_st *info, gnutls_pcert_st **certs, unsigned int *certs_length, gnutls_ocsp_data_st **ocsp, unsigned int *ocsp_length, gnutls_privkey_t *privkey, unsigned int *flags);

The info field of the callback contains: req_ca_dn which is a list with the CA names that the server considers trusted. This is a hint and typically the client should send a certificate that is signed by one of these CAs. These names, when available, are DER encoded. To get a more meaningful value use the function gnutls_x509_rdn_get(). pk_algos contains a list with server's acceptable public key algorithms. The certificate returned should support the server's given algorithms.

The callback should fill-in the following values:

certs should contain an allocated list of certificates and public keys. certs_length is the size of the previous list. ocsp should contain an allocated list of OCSP responses. ocsp_length is the size of the previous list. privkey is the private key.

If flags in the callback are set to GNUTLS_CERT_RETR_DEINIT_ALL then all provided values must be allocated using gnutls_malloc(), and will be released by gnutls; otherwise they will not be touched by gnutls.

The callback function should set the certificate and OCSP response list to be sent, and return 0 on success. If no certificates are available, the certs_length and ocsp_length should be set to zero. The return value (-1) indicates error and the handshake will be terminated. If both certificates are set in the credentials and a callback is available, the callback takes predence.

Raw public-keys: In case raw public-keys are negotiated as certificate type, certificates that would normally hold the public-key material are not available. In that case, certs contains an allocated list with only the public key. Since there is no certificate, there is also no certificate status. Therefore, OCSP information should not be set.

Parameters

cred

is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type.

 

func

is the callback function

                            gnutls_privkey_t key);

This function sets a public/private key pair in the gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type. The given public key may be encapsulated in a certificate or can be given as a raw key. This function may be called more than once, in case multiple key pairs exist for the server. For clients that want to send more than their own end- entity certificate (e.g., also an intermediate CA cert), the full certificate chain must be provided in pcert_list .

Note that the key will become part of the credentials structure and must not be deallocated. It will be automatically deallocated when the res structure is deinitialized.

If this function fails, the res structure is at an undefined state and it must not be reused to load other keys or certificates.

Note that, this function by default returns zero on success and a negative value on error. Since 3.5.6, when the flag GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_API_V2 is set using gnutls_certificate_set_flags() it returns an index (greater or equal to zero). That index can be used for other functions to refer to the added key-pair.

Since GnuTLS 3.6.6 this function also handles raw public keys.

Parameters

res

is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type.

 

names

is an array of DNS names belonging to the public-key (NULL if none)

 

names_size

holds the size of the names list

 

pcert_list

contains a certificate list (chain) or raw public-key

 

pcert_list_size

holds the size of the certificate list

 

key

is a gnutls_privkey_t key corresponding to the first public-key in pcert_list

 

Returns

On success this functions returns zero, and otherwise a negative value on error (see above for modifying that behavior).

Since: 3.0


gnutls_pubkey_print ()

int
gnutls_pubkey_print (gnutls_pubkey_t pubkey,
                     gnutls_certificate_print_formats_t format,
                     gnutls_datum_t *out);

This function will pretty print public key information, suitable for display to a human.

Only GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_FULL and GNUTLS_CRT_PRINT_FULL_NUMBERS are implemented.

The output out needs to be deallocated using gnutls_free().

Parameters

pubkey

The data to be printed

 

format

Indicate the format to use

 

out

Newly allocated datum with null terminated string.

 

Returns

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.

Since: 3.1.5
