NAME
CL_CertGroupFromVerifiedBundle,
CSSM_CL_CertGroupFromVerifiedBundle - Verify the signature of a
bundle (CDSA)
SYNOPSIS
# include <cssm.h>
API:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertGroupFromVerifiedBundle
(CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
const CSSM_CERT_BUNDLE *CertBundle,
const CSSM_DATA *SignerCert,
CSSM_CERTGROUP_PTR *CertGroup)
SPI:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMCLI CL_CertGroupFromVerifiedBundle
(CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
const CSSM_CERT_BUNDLE *CertBundle,
const CSSM_DATA *SignerCert,
CSSM_CERTGROUP_PTR *CertGroup)
LIBRARY
Common Security Services Manager library (CDSA$INCSSM300_SHR.EXE)
PARAMETERS
CLHandle (input)
The handle that describes the add-in certificate library module
used to perform this function.
CCHandle (input/optional)
The handle of the cryptographic context to control the
verification operation.
CertBundle (input)
A structure containing a reference to a signed, encoded bundle
of certificates and to descriptors of the type and encoding of
the bundle. The bundled certificates are to be separated into
a certificate group (list of individual encoded certificates).
If the bundle type and bundle encoding are not specified, the
add-in module might either attempt to decode the bundle
assuming a default type and encoding or might immediately fail.
SignerCert (input/optional)
The certificate to be used to verify the signature on the
certificate bundle. If the bundle is signed but this field is
not specified, then the module will assume a default certificate
for verification.
CertGroup (output)
A pointer to the certificate group, represented as an array
of individual, encoded certificates. The certificate group
and CSSM_CERTGROUP substructures are allocated by the serivce
provider and must be deallocated by the application. The group
contains all certificates contained in the certificate bundle.
DESCRIPTION
This function accepts as input a certificate bundle (a codified and
signed aggregation of the certificates in the group), verifies the
signature of the bundle (if a signature is present), and returns a
certificate group (as an array of individual certificates) including
every certificate contained in the bundle. The signature on the
certificate aggregate is verified using the cryptographic context and
possibly using the input signer certificate. The CL module embeds the
knowledge of the verification scope for the bundle types that it
supports. A CL module's supported bundle types and encodings are
available to applications by querying the CSSM registry. The type and
encoding of the certificate bundle must be specified with the input
bundle. If signature verification is successful, the certificate
aggregate will be parsed into a certificate group whose order
corresponds to the certificate aggregate ordering. This certificate
group will then be returned to the calling application.
RETURN VALUE
A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular
error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values
represent an error condition.
ERRORS
Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard. See CDSA.
