30=head1 DESCRIPTION
31
32SSL_enable_ct() and SSL_CTX_enable_ct() enable the processing of signed
33certificate timestamps (SCTs) either for a given SSL connection or for all
34connections that share the given SSL context, respectively.
35This is accomplished by setting a built-in CT validation callback.
36The behaviour of the callback is determined by the B<validation_mode> argument,
37which can be either of B<SSL_CT_VALIDATION_PERMISSIVE> or
38B<SSL_CT_VALIDATION_STRICT> as described below.
39
40If B<validation_mode> is equal to B<SSL_CT_VALIDATION_STRICT>, then in a full
41TLS handshake with the verification mode set to B<SSL_VERIFY_PEER>, if the peer
42presents no valid SCTs the handshake will be aborted.
43If the verification mode is B<SSL_VERIFY_NONE>, the handshake will continue
44despite lack of valid SCTs.
45However, in that case if the verification status before the built-in callback
46was B<X509_V_OK> it will be set to B<X509_V_ERR_NO_VALID_SCTS> after the
47callback.
48Applications can call L<SSL_get_verify_result(3)> to check the status at
49handshake completion, even after session resumption since the verification
50status is part of the saved session state.
51See L<SSL_set_verify(3)>, <SSL_get_verify_result(3)>, L<SSL_session_reused(3)>.
52
53If B<validation_mode> is equal to B<SSL_CT_VALIDATION_PERMISSIVE>, then the
54handshake continues, and the verification status is not modified, regardless of
55the validation status of any SCTs.
56The application can still inspect the validation status of the SCTs at
57handshake completion.
58Note that with session resumption there will not be any SCTs presented during
59the handshake.
60Therefore, in applications that delay SCT policy enforcement until after
61handshake completion, such delayed SCT checks should only be performed when the
62session is not resumed.
63
64SSL_set_ct_validation_callback() and SSL_CTX_set_ct_validation_callback()
65register a custom callback that may implement a different policy than either of
66the above.
67This callback can examine the peer's SCTs and determine whether they are
68sufficient to allow the connection to continue.
69The TLS handshake is aborted if the verification mode is not B<SSL_VERIFY_NONE>
70and the callback returns a non-positive result.
71
72An arbitrary callback data argument, B<arg>, can be passed in when setting
73the callback.
74This will be passed to the callback whenever it is invoked.
75Ownership of this context remains with the caller.
76
77If no callback is set, SCTs will not be requested and Certificate Transparency
78validation will not occur.
79
80No callback will be invoked when the peer presents no certificate, e.g. by
81employing an anonymous (aNULL) cipher suite.
82In that case the handshake continues as it would had no callback been
83requested.
84Callbacks are also not invoked when the peer certificate chain is invalid or
85validated via DANE-TA(2) or DANE-EE(3) TLSA records which use a private X.509
86PKI, or no X.509 PKI at all, respectively.
87Clients that require SCTs are expected to not have enabled any aNULL ciphers
88nor to have specified server verification via DANE-TA(2) or DANE-EE(3) TLSA
89records.
90
91SSL_disable_ct() and SSL_CTX_disable_ct() turn off CT processing, whether
92enabled via the built-in or the custom callbacks, by setting a NULL callback.
93These may be implemented as macros.
94
95SSL_ct_is_enabled() and SSL_CTX_ct_is_enabled() return 1 if CT processing is
96enabled via either SSL_enable_ct() or a non-null custom callback, and 0
97otherwise.
98
99=head1 NOTES
100
101When SCT processing is enabled, OCSP stapling will be enabled. This is because
102one possible source of SCTs is the OCSP response from a server.
103
104The time returned by SSL_SESSION_get_time() will be used to evaluate whether any
105presented SCTs have timestamps that are in the future (and therefore invalid).
106
107=head1 RESTRICTIONS
108
109Certificate Transparency validation cannot be enabled and so a callback cannot
110be set if a custom client extension handler has been registered to handle SCT
111extensions (B<TLSEXT_TYPE_signed_certificate_timestamp>).
112
113=head1 RETURN VALUES
114
115SSL_enable_ct(), SSL_CTX_enable_ct(), SSL_CTX_set_ct_validation_callback() and
116SSL_set_ct_validation_callback() return 1 if the B<callback> is successfully
117set.
118They return 0 if an error occurs, e.g. a custom client extension handler has
119been setup to handle SCTs.
120
121SSL_disable_ct() and SSL_CTX_disable_ct() do not return a result.
122
123SSL_CTX_ct_is_enabled() and SSL_ct_is_enabled() return a 1 if a non-null CT
124validation callback is set, or 0 if no callback (or equivalently a NULL
125callback) is set.
