1This documents the X.509 CAs, certificates, and CRLS used for testing.

3Certification authorities
4-------------------------
5
6There are two main CAs for use as trusted roots:
7- test-ca.crt aka "C=NL, O=PolarSSL, CN=PolarSSL Test CA"
8  uses a RSA-2048 key
9  test-ca-sha1.crt and test-ca-sha256.crt use the same key, signed with
10  different hashes.
11- test-ca2*.crt aka "C=NL, O=PolarSSL, CN=Polarssl Test EC CA"
12  uses an EC key with NIST P-384 (aka secp384r1)
13  variants used to test the keyUsage extension
14The files test-ca_cat12 and test-ca_cat21 contain them concatenated both ways.
15
16Two intermediate CAs are signed by them:
17- test-int-ca.crt "C=NL, O=PolarSSL, CN=PolarSSL Test Intermediate CA"
18  uses RSA-4096, signed by test-ca2
19    - test-int-ca-exp.crt is a copy that is expired
20- test-int-ca2.crt "C=NL, O=PolarSSL, CN=PolarSSL Test Intermediate EC CA"
21  uses an EC key with NIST P-384, signed by test-ca
22
23A third intermediate CA is signed by test-int-ca2.crt:
24- test-int-ca3.crt "C=UK, O=mbed TLS, CN=mbed TLS Test intermediate CA 3"
25  uses an EC key with NIST P-256, signed by test-int-ca2
26
27Finally, other CAs for specific purposes:
28- enco-ca-prstr.pem: has its CN encoded as a printable string, but child cert
29  enco-cert-utf8str.pem has its issuer's CN encoded as a UTF-8 string.
30- test-ca-v1.crt: v1 "CA", signs
31    server1-v1.crt: v1 "intermediate CA", signs
32        server2-v1*.crt: EE cert (without of with chain in same file)
33- keyUsage.decipherOnly.crt: has the decipherOnly keyUsage bit set
34
35End-entity certificates
36-----------------------
37
38Short information fields:
39
40- name or pattern
41- issuing CA:   1   -> test-ca.crt
42                2   -> test-ca2.crt
43                I1  -> test-int-ca.crt
44                I2  -> test-int-ca2.crt
45                I3  -> test-int-ca3.crt
46                O   -> other
47- key type: R -> RSA, E -> EC
48- C -> there is a CRL revoking this cert (see below)
49- L -> CN=localhost (useful for local test servers)
50- P1, P2 if the file includes parent (resp. parent + grandparent)
51- free-form comments

106Certificate revocation lists
107----------------------------
108
109Signing CA in parentheses (same meaning as certificates).
110
111- crl-ec-sha*.pem: (2) server6.crt
112- crl-future.pem: (2) server6.crt + unknown
113- crl-rsa-pss-*.pem: (1) server9{,badsign,with-ca}.crt + cert_sha384.crt + unknown
114- crl.pem, crl-futureRevocationDate.pem, crl_expired.pem: (1) server1{,.cert_type,.key_usage,.v1}.crt + unknown
115- crl_md*.pem: crl_sha*.pem: (1) same as crl.pem
116- crt_cat_*.pem: (1+2) concatenations in various orders:
117    ec = crl-ec-sha256.pem, ecfut = crl-future.pem
118    rsa = crl.pem, rsabadpem = same with pem error, rsaexp = crl_expired.pem
119
120Note: crl_future would revoke server9 and cert_sha384.crt if signed by CA 1
121      crl-rsa-pss* would revoke server6.crt if signed by CA 2
122
123Generation
124----------
125
126Newer test files have been generated through commands in the Makefile. The
127resulting files are committed to the repository so that the tests can
128run without having to re-do the generation and so that the output is the
129same for everyone (the generation process is randomized).
130
131The origin of older certificates has not been recorded.
