dane_verify_crt(3)		    gnutls		    dane_verify_crt(3)

NAME
       dane_verify_crt - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<gnutls/dane.h>

       int  dane_verify_crt(dane_state_t  s, const gnutls_datum_t * chain, un-
       signed chain_size, gnutls_certificate_type_t chain_type,	const  char  *
       hostname,  const	 char *	proto, unsigned	int port, unsigned int sflags,
       unsigned	int vflags, unsigned int * verify);

ARGUMENTS
       dane_state_t s
		   A DANE state	structure (may be NULL)

       const gnutls_datum_t * chain
		   A certificate chain

       unsigned	chain_size
		   The size of the chain

       gnutls_certificate_type_t chain_type
		   The type of the certificate chain

       const char * hostname
		   The hostname	associated with	the chain

       const char * proto
		   The protocol	of the service connecting (e.g.	tcp)

       unsigned	int port
		   The port of the service connecting (e.g. 443)

       unsigned	int sflags
		   Flags for the initialization	of  s (if NULL)

       unsigned	int vflags
		   Verification	flags; an OR'ed	list of	dane_verify_flags_t.

       unsigned	int * verify
		   An OR'ed list of dane_verify_status_t.

DESCRIPTION
       This function will verify the given certificate chain  against  the  CA
       constrains  and/or  the certificate available via DANE.	If no informa-
       tion via	DANE can be obtained the flag DANE_VERIFY_NO_DANE_INFO is set.
       If a DNSSEC signature is	not available for the  DANE  record  then  the
       verify flag DANE_VERIFY_NO_DNSSEC_DATA is set.

       Due  to	the  many  possible options of DANE, there is no single	threat
       model countered.	When notifying the user	about  DANE  verification  re-
       sults it	may be better to mention: DANE verification did	not reject the
       certificate, rather than	mentioning a successful	DANE verification.

       Note  that  this	 function  is designed to be run in addition to	PKIX -
       certificate  chain  -  verification.  To	 be  run   independently   the
       DANE_VFLAG_ONLY_CHECK_EE_USAGE flag should be specified;	then the func-
       tion  will check	whether	the key	of the peer matches the	key advertised
       in the DANE entry.

RETURNS
       a negative error	code on	error and DANE_E_SUCCESS (0) when the DANE en-
       tries were successfully parsed, irrespective of whether they were veri-
       fied (see  verify for that information).	If no usable entries were  en-
       countered DANE_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE will be returned.
