+
+Minimal in SSLeay. If you want to see what the modulus and exponent are,
+try asn1parse -offset 25 -length 75 <key.pem
+asn1parse will currently stuff up on the 'length 75' part (fixed in next
+release) but it will print the stuff. If you are after more
+documentation on ASN.1, have a look at www.rsa.com and get their PKCS
+documents, most of my initial work on SSLeay was done using them.
+
+As for SSLeay,
+util/crypto.num and util/ssl.num are lists of all exported functions in
+the library (but not macros :-(.
+
+The ones for extracting public keys from certificates and certificate
+requests are EVP_PKEY * X509_REQ_extract_key(X509_REQ *req);
+EVP_PKEY * X509_extract_key(X509 *x509);
+
+To verify a signature on a signed ASN.1 object
+int X509_verify(X509 *a,EVP_PKEY *key);
+int X509_REQ_verify(X509_REQ *a,EVP_PKEY *key);
+int X509_CRL_verify(X509_CRL *a,EVP_PKEY *key);
+int NETSCAPE_SPKI_verify(NETSCAPE_SPKI *a,EVP_PKEY *key);
+
+I should mention that EVP_PKEY can be used to hold a public or a private key,
+since for things like RSA and DSS, a public key is just a subset of what
+is stored for the private key.
+
+To sign any of the above structures
+
+int X509_sign(X509 *a,EVP_PKEY *key,EVP_MD *md);
+int X509_REQ_sign(X509_REQ *a,EVP_PKEY *key,EVP_MD *md);
+int X509_CRL_sign(X509_CRL *a,EVP_PKEY *key,EVP_MD *md);
+int NETSCAPE_SPKI_sign(NETSCAPE_SPKI *a,EVP_PKEY *key,EVP_MD *md);
+
+where md is the message digest to sign with.
+
+There are all defined in x509.h and all the _sign and _verify functions are
+actually macros to the ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify() functions.
+These functions will put the correct algorithm identifiers in the correct
+places in the structures.

+The applications
+
+Ok, where to begin....
+In the begining, when SSLeay was small (April 1995), there
+were but few applications, they did happily cohabit in
+the one bin directory. Then over time, they did multiply and grow,
+and they started to look like microsoft software; 500k to print 'hello world'.
+A new approach was needed. They were coalessed into one 'Monolithic'
+application, ssleay. This one program is composed of many programs that
+can all be compiled independantly.
+
+ssleay has 3 modes of operation.
+1) If the ssleay binaray has the name of one of its component programs, it
+executes that program and then exits. This can be achieve by using hard or
+symbolic links, or failing that, just renaming the binary.
+2) If the first argument to ssleay is the name of one of the component
+programs, that program runs that program and then exits.
+3) If there are no arguments, ssleay enters a 'command' mode. Each line is
+interpreted as a program name plus arguments. After each 'program' is run,
+ssleay returns to the comand line.

+The ASN.1 Routines.
+
+ASN.1 is a specification for how to encode structured 'data' in binary form.
+The approach I have take to the manipulation of structures and their encoding
+into ASN.1 is as follows.
+
+For each distinct structure there are 4 function of the following form
+TYPE *TYPE_new(void);
+void TYPE_free(TYPE *);
+TYPE *d2i_TYPE(TYPE **a,unsigned char **pp,long length);
+long i2d_TYPE(TYPE *a,unsigned char **pp); /* CHECK RETURN VALUE */
+
+where TYPE is the type of the 'object'. The TYPE that have these functions
+can be in one of 2 forms, either the internal C malloc()ed data structure
+or in the DER (a variant of ASN.1 encoding) binary encoding which is just
+an array of unsigned bytes. The 'i2d' functions converts from the internal
+form to the DER form and the 'd2i' functions convert from the DER form to
+the internal form.
+
+The 'new' function returns a malloc()ed version of the structure with all
+substructures either created or left as NULL pointers. For 'optional'
+fields, they are normally left as NULL to indicate no value. For variable
+size sub structures (often 'SET OF' or 'SEQUENCE OF' in ASN.1 syntax) the
+STACK data type is used to hold the values. Have a read of stack.doc
+and have a look at the relevant header files to see what I mean. If there
+is an error while malloc()ing the structure, NULL is returned.
+
+The 'free' function will free() all the sub components of a particular
+structure. If any of those sub components have been 'removed', replace
+them with NULL pointers, the 'free' functions are tolerant of NULL fields.
+
+The 'd2i' function copies a binary representation into a C structure. It
+operates as follows. 'a' is a pointer to a pointer to
+the structure to populate, 'pp' is a pointer to a pointer to where the DER
+byte string is located and 'length' is the length of the '*pp' data.
+If there are no errors, a pointer to the populated structure is returned.
+If there is an error, NULL is returned. Errors can occur because of
+malloc() failures but normally they will be due to syntax errors in the DER
+encoded data being parsed. It is also an error if there was an
+attempt to read more that 'length' bytes from '*p'. If
+everything works correctly, the value in '*p' is updated
+to point at the location just beyond where the DER
+structure was read from. In this way, chained calls to 'd2i' type
+functions can be made, with the pointer into the 'data' array being
+'walked' along the input byte array.
+Depending on the value passed for 'a', different things will be done. If
+'a' is NULL, a new structure will be malloc()ed and returned. If '*a' is
+NULL, a new structure will be malloc()ed and put into '*a' and returned.
+If '*a' is not NULL, the structure in '*a' will be populated, or in the
+case of an error, free()ed and then returned.
+Having these semantics means that a structure
+can call a 'd2i' function to populate a field and if the field is currently
+NULL, the structure will be created.
+
+The 'i2d' function type is used to copy a C structure to a byte array.
+The parameter 'a' is the structure to convert and '*p' is where to put it.
+As for the 'd2i' type structure, 'p' is updated to point after the last
+byte written. If p is NULL, no data is written. The function also returns
+the number of bytes written. Where this becomes useful is that if the
+function is called with a NULL 'p' value, the length is returned. This can
+then be used to malloc() an array of bytes and then the same function can
+be recalled passing the malloced array to be written to. e.g.
+
+int len;
+unsigned char *bytes,*p;
+len=i2d_X509(x,NULL); /* get the size of the ASN1 encoding of 'x' */
+if ((bytes=(unsigned char *)malloc(len)) == NULL)
+ goto err;
+p=bytes;
+i2d_X509(x,&p);
+
+Please note that a new variable, 'p' was passed to i2d_X509. After the
+call to i2d_X509 p has been incremented by len bytes.
+
+Now the reason for this functional organisation is that it allows nested
+structures to be built up by calling these functions as required. There
+are various macros used to help write the general 'i2d', 'd2i', 'new' and
+'free' functions. They are discussed in another file and would only be
+used by some-one wanting to add new structures to the library. As you
+might be able to guess, the process of writing ASN.1 files can be a bit CPU
+expensive for complex structures. I'm willing to live with this since the
+simpler library code make my life easier and hopefully most programs using
+these routines will have their execution profiles dominated by cipher or
+message digest routines.
+What follows is a list of 'TYPE' values and the corresponding ASN.1
+structure and where it is used.
+
+TYPE ASN.1
+ASN1_INTEGER INTEGER
+ASN1_BIT_STRING BIT STRING
+ASN1_OCTET_STRING OCTET STRING
+ASN1_OBJECT OBJECT IDENTIFIER
+ASN1_PRINTABLESTRING PrintableString
+ASN1_T61STRING T61String
+ASN1_IA5STRING IA5String
+ASN1_UTCTIME UTCTime
+ASN1_TYPE Any of the above mentioned types plus SEQUENCE and SET
+
+Most of the above mentioned types are actualled stored in the
+ASN1_BIT_STRING type and macros are used to differentiate between them.
+The 3 types used are
+
+typedef struct asn1_object_st
+ {
+ /* both null if a dynamic ASN1_OBJECT, one is
+ * defined if a 'static' ASN1_OBJECT */
+ char *sn,*ln;
+ int nid;
+ int length;
+ unsigned char *data;
+ } ASN1_OBJECT;
+This is used to store ASN1 OBJECTS. Read 'objects.doc' for details ono
+routines to manipulate this structure. 'sn' and 'ln' are used to hold text
+strings that represent the object (short name and long or lower case name).
+These are used by the 'OBJ' library. 'nid' is a number used by the OBJ
+library to uniquely identify objects. The ASN1 routines will populate the
+'length' and 'data' fields which will contain the bit string representing
+the object.
+
+typedef struct asn1_bit_string_st
+ {
+ int length;
+ int type;
+ unsigned char *data;
+ } ASN1_BIT_STRING;
+This structure is used to hold all the other base ASN1 types except for
+ASN1_UTCTIME (which is really just a 'char *'). Length is the number of
+bytes held in data and type is the ASN1 type of the object (there is a list
+in asn1.h).
+
+typedef struct asn1_type_st
+ {
+ int type;
+ union {
+ char *ptr;
+ ASN1_INTEGER * integer;
+ ASN1_BIT_STRING * bit_string;
+ ASN1_OCTET_STRING * octet_string;
+ ASN1_OBJECT * object;
+ ASN1_PRINTABLESTRING * printablestring;
+ ASN1_T61STRING * t61string;
+ ASN1_IA5STRING * ia5string;
+ ASN1_UTCTIME * utctime;
+ ASN1_BIT_STRING * set;
+ ASN1_BIT_STRING * sequence;
+ } value;
+ } ASN1_TYPE;
+This structure is used in a few places when 'any' type of object can be
+expected.
+
+X509 Certificate
+X509_CINF CertificateInfo
+X509_ALGOR AlgorithmIdentifier
+X509_NAME Name
+X509_NAME_ENTRY A single sub component of the name.
+X509_VAL Validity
+X509_PUBKEY SubjectPublicKeyInfo
+The above mentioned types are declared in x509.h. They are all quite
+straight forward except for the X509_NAME/X509_NAME_ENTRY pair.
+A X509_NAME is a STACK (see stack.doc) of X509_NAME_ENTRY's.
+typedef struct X509_name_entry_st
+ {
+ ASN1_OBJECT *object;
+ ASN1_BIT_STRING *value;
+ int set;
+ int size; /* temp variable */
+ } X509_NAME_ENTRY;
+The size is a temporary variable used by i2d_NAME and set is the set number
+for the particular NAME_ENTRY. A X509_NAME is encoded as a sequence of
+sequence of sets. Normally each set contains only a single item.
+Sometimes it contains more. Normally throughout this library there will be
+only one item per set. The set field contains the 'set' that this entry is
+a member of. So if you have just created a X509_NAME structure and
+populated it with X509_NAME_ENTRYs, you should then traverse the X509_NAME
+(which is just a STACK) and set the 'set/' field to incrementing numbers.
+For more details on why this is done, read the ASN.1 spec for Distinguished
+Names.
+
+X509_REQ CertificateRequest
+X509_REQ_INFO CertificateRequestInfo
+These are used to hold certificate requests.
+
+X509_CRL CertificateRevocationList
+These are used to hold a certificate revocation list
+
+RSAPrivateKey PrivateKeyInfo
+RSAPublicKey PublicKeyInfo
+Both these 'function groups' operate on 'RSA' structures (see rsa.doc).
+The difference is that the RSAPublicKey operations only manipulate the m
+and e fields in the RSA structure.
+
+DSAPrivateKey DSS private key
+DSAPublicKey DSS public key
+Both these 'function groups' operate on 'DSS' structures (see dsa.doc).
+The difference is that the RSAPublicKey operations only manipulate the
+XXX fields in the DSA structure.
+
+DHparams DHParameter
+This is used to hold the p and g value for The Diffie-Hellman operation.
+The function deal with the 'DH' strucure (see dh.doc).
+
+Now all of these function types can be used with several other functions to give
+quite useful set of general manipulation routines. Normally one would
+not uses these functions directly but use them via macros.
+
+char *ASN1_dup(int (*i2d)(),char *(*d2i)(),char *x);
+'x' is the input structure case to a 'char *', 'i2d' is the 'i2d_TYPE'
+function for the type that 'x' is and d2i is the 'd2i_TYPE' function for the
+type that 'x' is. As is obvious from the parameters, this function
+duplicates the strucutre by transforming it into the DER form and then
+re-loading it into a new strucutre and returning the new strucutre. This
+is obviously a bit cpu intensive but when faced with a complex dynamic
+structure this is the simplest programming approach. There are macros for
+duplicating the major data types but is simple to add extras.
+
+char *ASN1_d2i_fp(char *(*new)(),char *(*d2i)(),FILE *fp,unsigned char **x);
+'x' is a pointer to a pointer of the 'desired type'. new and d2i are the
+corresponding 'TYPE_new' and 'd2i_TYPE' functions for the type and 'fp' is
+an open file pointer to read from. This function reads from 'fp' as much
+data as it can and then uses 'd2i' to parse the bytes to load and return
+the parsed strucutre in 'x' (if it was non-NULL) and to actually return the
+strucutre. The behavior of 'x' is as per all the other d2i functions.
+
+char *ASN1_d2i_bio(char *(*new)(),char *(*d2i)(),BIO *fp,unsigned char **x);
+The 'BIO' is the new IO type being used in SSLeay (see bio.doc). This
+function is the same as ASN1_d2i_fp() except for the BIO argument.
+ASN1_d2i_fp() actually calls this function.
+
+int ASN1_i2d_fp(int (*i2d)(),FILE *out,unsigned char *x);
+'x' is converted to bytes by 'i2d' and then written to 'out'. ASN1_i2d_fp
+and ASN1_d2i_fp are not really symetric since ASN1_i2d_fp will read all
+available data from the file pointer before parsing a single item while
+ASN1_i2d_fp can be used to write a sequence of data objects. To read a
+series of objects from a file I would sugest loading the file into a buffer
+and calling the relevent 'd2i' functions.
+
+char *ASN1_d2i_bio(char *(*new)(),char *(*d2i)(),BIO *fp,unsigned char **x);
+This function is the same as ASN1_i2d_fp() except for the BIO argument.
+ASN1_i2d_fp() actually calls this function.
+
+char * PEM_ASN1_read(char *(*d2i)(),char *name,FILE *fp,char **x,int (*cb)());
+This function will read the next PEM encoded (base64) object of the same
+type as 'x' (loaded by the d2i function). 'name' is the name that is in
+the '-----BEGIN name-----' that designates the start of that object type.
+If the data is encrypted, 'cb' will be called to prompt for a password. If
+it is NULL a default function will be used to prompt from the password.
+'x' is delt with as per the standard 'd2i' function interface. This
+function can be used to read a series of objects from a file. While any
+data type can be encrypted (see PEM_ASN1_write) only RSA private keys tend
+to be encrypted.
+
+char * PEM_ASN1_read_bio(char *(*d2i)(),char *name,BIO *fp,
+ char **x,int (*cb)());
+Same as PEM_ASN1_read() except using a BIO. This is called by
+PEM_ASN1_read().
+
+int PEM_ASN1_write(int (*i2d)(),char *name,FILE *fp,char *x,EVP_CIPHER *enc,
+ unsigned char *kstr,int klen,int (*callback)());
+
+int PEM_ASN1_write_bio(int (*i2d)(),char *name,BIO *fp,
+ char *x,EVP_CIPHER *enc,unsigned char *kstr,int klen,

+
+int ASN1_sign(int (*i2d)(), X509_ALGOR *algor1, X509_ALGOR *algor2,
+ ASN1_BIT_STRING *signature, char *data, RSA *rsa, EVP_MD *type);
+int ASN1_verify(int (*i2d)(), X509_ALGOR *algor1,

+BIO Routines
+
+This documentation is rather sparse, you are probably best
+off looking at the code for specific details.
+
+The BIO library is a IO abstraction that was originally
+inspired by the need to have callbacks to perform IO to FILE
+pointers when using Windows 3.1 DLLs. There are two types
+of BIO; a source/sink type and a filter type.
+The source/sink methods are as follows:
+- BIO_s_mem() memory buffer - a read/write byte array that
+ grows until memory runs out :-).
+- BIO_s_file() FILE pointer - A wrapper around the normal
+ 'FILE *' commands, good for use with stdin/stdout.
+- BIO_s_fd() File descriptor - A wrapper around file
