[RFC PATCH 10/15] X.509: Extract signature digest and make self-signed cert checks earlier

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Jan 08 2016 - 13:34:45 EST


Extract the signature digest for an X.509 certificate earlier, at the end
of x509_cert_parse() rather than leaving it to the callers thereof.

Further, immediately after that, check the signature on self-signed
certificates, also rather in the callers of x509_cert_parse().

This we need to determine whether or not the X.509 cert requires crypto
that we don't support before we do the above two steps.

We note in the x509_certificate struct the following bits of information:

(1) Whether the signature is self-signed (even if we can't check the
signature due to missing crypto).

(2) Whether the key held in the certificate needs unsupported crypto to be
used. We may get a PKCS#7 message with X.509 certs that we can't make
use of - we just ignore them and give ENOPKG at the end it we couldn't
verify anything if at least one of these unusable certs are in the
chain of trust.

(3) Whether the signature held in the certificate needs unsupported crypto
to be checked. We can still use the key held in this certificate,
even if we can't check the signature on it - if it is held in the
system trusted keyring, for instance. We just can't add it to a ring
of trusted keys or follow it further up the chain of trust.

Making these checks earlier allows x509_check_signature() to be removed and
replaced with direct calls to public_key_verify_signature().
