=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions implement support for DANE TLSA (RFC6698 and RFC7671)
peer authentication.

SSL_CTX_dane_enable() must be called first to initialize the shared state
required for DANE support.
Individual connections associated with the context can then enable
per-connection DANE support as appropriate.
DANE authentication is implemented in the L<X509_verify_cert(3)> function, and
applications that override L<X509_verify_cert(3)> via
L<SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(3)> are responsible to authenticate the peer
chain in whatever manner they see fit.

SSL_CTX_dane_mtype_set() may then be called zero or more times to adjust the
supported digest algorithms.
This must be done before any SSL handles are created for the context.

The B<mtype> argument specifies a DANE TLSA matching type and the B<md>
argument specifies the associated digest algorithm handle.
The B<ord> argument specifies a strength ordinal.
Algorithms with a larger strength ordinal are considered more secure.
Strength ordinals are used to implement RFC7671 digest algorithm agility.
Specifying a B<NULL> digest algorithm for a matching type disables
support for that matching type.
Matching type Full(0) cannot be modified or disabled.

By default, matching type C<SHA2-256(1)> (see RFC7218 for definitions
of the DANE TLSA parameter acronyms) is mapped to C<EVP_sha256()>
with a strength ordinal of C<1> and matching type C<SHA2-512(2)>
is mapped to C<EVP_sha512()> with a strength ordinal of C<2>.

SSL_dane_enable() must be called before the SSL handshake is initiated with
L<SSL_connect(3)> if (and only if) you want to enable DANE for that connection.
(The connection must be associated with a DANE-enabled SSL context).
The B<basedomain> argument specifies the RFC7671 TLSA base domain,
which will be the primary peer reference identifier for certificate
name checks.
Additional server names can be specified via L<SSL_add1_host(3)>.
The B<basedomain> is used as the default SNI hint if none has yet been
specified via L<SSL_set_tlsext_host_name(3)>.

SSL_dane_tlsa_add() may then be called one or more times, to load each of the
TLSA records that apply to the remote TLS peer.
(This too must be done prior to the beginning of the SSL handshake).
The arguments specify the fields of the TLSA record.
The B<data> field is provided in binary (wire RDATA) form, not the hexadecimal
ASCII presentation form, with an explicit length passed via B<dlen>.
The library takes a copy of the B<data> buffer contents and the caller may
free the original B<data> buffer when convenient.
A return value of 0 indicates that "unusable" TLSA records (with invalid or
unsupported parameters) were provided.
A negative return value indicates an internal error in processing the record.

The caller is expected to check the return value of each SSL_dane_tlsa_add()
call and take appropriate action if none are usable or an internal error
is encountered in processing some records.

If no TLSA records are added successfully, DANE authentication is not enabled,
and authentication will be based on any configured traditional trust-anchors;
authentication success in this case does not mean that the peer was
DANE-authenticated.

SSL_get0_dane_authority() can be used to get more detailed information about
the matched DANE trust-anchor after successful connection completion.
The return value is negative if DANE verification failed (or was not enabled),
0 if an EE TLSA record directly matched the leaf certificate, or a positive
number indicating the depth at which a TA record matched an issuer certificate.
The complete verified chain can be retrieved via L<SSL_get0_verified_chain(3)>.
The return value is an index into this verified chain, rather than the list of
certificates sent by the peer as returned by L<SSL_get_peer_cert_chain(3)>.

If the B<mcert> argument is not B<NULL> and a TLSA record matched a chain
certificate, a pointer to the matching certificate is returned via B<mcert>.
The returned address is a short-term internal reference to the certificate and
must not be freed by the application.
Applications that want to retain access to the certificate can call
L<X509_up_ref(3)> to obtain a long-term reference which must then be freed via
L<X509_free(3)> once no longer needed.

If no TLSA records directly matched any elements of the certificate chain, but
a DANE-TA(2) SPKI(1) Full(0) record provided the public key that signed an
element of the chain, then that key is returned via B<mspki> argument (if not
NULL).
In this case the return value is the depth of the top-most element of the
validated certificate chain.
As with B<mcert> this is a short-term internal reference, and
L<EVP_PKEY_up_ref(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_free(3)> can be used to acquire and
release long-term references respectively.

SSL_get0_dane_tlsa() can be used to retrieve the fields of the TLSA record that
matched the peer certificate chain.
The return value indicates the match depth or failure to match just as with
SSL_get0_dane_authority().
When the return value is non-negative, the storage pointed to by the B<usage>,
B<selector>, B<mtype> and B<data> parameters is updated to the corresponding
TLSA record fields.
The B<data> field is in binary wire form, and is therefore not NUL-terminated,
its length is returned via the B<dlen> parameter.
If any of these parameters is NULL, the corresponding field is not returned.
The B<data> parameter is set to a short-term internal-copy of the associated
data field and must not be freed by the application.
Applications that need long-term access to this field need to copy the content.

SSL_CTX_dane_set_flags() and SSL_dane_set_flags() can be used to enable
optional DANE verification features.
SSL_CTX_dane_clear_flags() and SSL_dane_clear_flags() can be used to disable
the same features.
The B<flags> argument is a bitmask of the features to enable or disable.
The B<flags> set for an B<SSL_CTX> context are copied to each B<SSL> handle
associated with that context at the time the handle is created.
Subsequent changes in the context's B<flags> have no effect on the B<flags> set
for the handle.

At present, the only available option is B<DANE_FLAG_NO_DANE_EE_NAMECHECKS>
which can be used to disable server name checks when authenticating via
DANE-EE(3) TLSA records.
For some applications, primarily web browsers, it is not safe to disable name
checks due to "unknown key share" attacks, in which a malicious server can
convince a client that a connection to a victim server is instead a secure
connection to the malicious server.
The malicious server may then be able to violate cross-origin scripting
restrictions.
Thus, despite the text of RFC7671, name checks are by default enabled for
DANE-EE(3) TLSA records, and can be disabled in applications where it is safe
to do so.
In particular, SMTP and XMPP clients should set this option as SRV and MX
records already make it possible for a remote domain to redirect client
connections to any server of its choice, and in any case SMTP and XMPP clients
do not execute scripts downloaded from remote servers.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

The functions SSL_CTX_dane_enable(), SSL_CTX_dane_mtype_set(),
SSL_dane_enable() and SSL_dane_tlsa_add() return a positive value on success.
Negative return values indicate resource problems (out of memory, etc.) in the
SSL library, while a return value of B<0> indicates incorrect usage or invalid
input, such as an unsupported TLSA record certificate usage, selector or
matching type.
Invalid input also includes malformed data, either a digest length that does
not match the digest algorithm, or a C<Full(0)> (binary ASN.1 DER form)
certificate or a public key that fails to parse.

The functions SSL_get0_dane_authority() and SSL_get0_dane_tlsa() return a
negative value when DANE authentication failed or was not enabled, a
non-negative value indicates the chain depth at which the TLSA record matched a
chain certificate, or the depth of the top-most certificate, when the TLSA
record is a full public key that is its signer.

The functions SSL_CTX_dane_set_flags(), SSL_CTX_dane_clear_flags(),
SSL_dane_set_flags() and SSL_dane_clear_flags() return the B<flags> in effect
before they were called.

=head1 EXAMPLE

Suppose "smtp.example.com" is the MX host of the domain "example.com", and has
DNSSEC-validated TLSA records.
The calls below will perform DANE authentication and arrange to match either
the MX hostname or the destination domain name in the SMTP server certificate.
Wildcards are supported, but must match the entire label.
The actual name matched in the certificate (which might be a wildcard) is
retrieved, and must be copied by the application if it is to be retained beyond
the lifetime of the SSL connection.

=head1 NOTES

It is expected that the majority of clients employing DANE TLS will be doing
"opportunistic DANE TLS" in the sense of RFC7672 and RFC7435.
That is, they will use DANE authentication when DNSSEC-validated TLSA records
are published for a given peer, and otherwise will use unauthenticated TLS or
even cleartext.

Such applications should generally treat any TLSA records published by the peer
with usages PKIX-TA(0) and PKIX-EE(1) as "unusable", and should not include
them among the TLSA records used to authenticate peer connections.
In addition, some TLSA records with supported usages may be "unusable" as a
result of invalid or unsupported parameters.

When a peer has TLSA records, but none are "usable", an opportunistic
application must avoid cleartext, but cannot authenticate the peer,
and so should generally proceed with an unauthenticated connection.
Opportunistic applications need to note the return value of each
call to SSL_dane_tlsa_add(), and if all return 0 (due to invalid
or unsupported parameters) disable peer authentication by calling
L<SSL_set_verify(3)> with B<mode> equal to B<SSL_VERIFY_NONE>.
