[PATCH 6/7] KEYS: X.509: Flag Intermediate CA certs as built in

From: Eric Snowberg
Date: Wed Apr 06 2022 - 05:38:11 EST


Currently X.509 Intermediate CA certs do not have the builtin root of trust
key flag set. Allow intermediate CA certs to be added. Requirements for an
intermediate CA include: Usage extension defined as keyCertSign, Basic
Constrains for CA is false, and Intermediate CA cert is signed by a current
builtin ROT key.
