SCT_VALIDATE(3)			    OpenSSL		       SCT_VALIDATE(3)

NAME
       SCT_validate, SCT_LIST_validate,	SCT_get_validation_status - checks
       Signed Certificate Timestamps (SCTs) are	valid

SYNOPSIS
	#include <openssl/ct.h>

	typedef	enum {
	    SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET,
	    SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_LOG,
	    SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_VALID,
	    SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_INVALID,
	    SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED,
	    SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_VERSION
	} sct_validation_status_t;

	int SCT_validate(SCT *sct, const CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX *ctx);
	int SCT_LIST_validate(const STACK_OF(SCT) *scts, CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX *ctx);
	sct_validation_status_t	SCT_get_validation_status(const	SCT *sct);

DESCRIPTION
       SCT_validate() will check that an SCT is	valid and verify its
       signature.  SCT_LIST_validate() performs	the same checks	on an entire
       stack of	SCTs.  The result of the validation checks can be obtained by
       passing the SCT to SCT_get_validation_status().

       A CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX must be provided that specifies:

       o The certificate the SCT was issued for.

	 Failure to provide the	certificate will result	in the validation
	 status	being SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED.

       o The issuer of that certificate.

	 This is only required if the SCT was issued for a pre-certificate
	 (see RFC 6962). If it is required but not provided, the validation
	 status	will be	SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED.

       o A CTLOG_STORE that contains the CT log	that issued this SCT.

	 If the	SCT was	issued by a log	that is	not in this CTLOG_STORE, the
	 validation status will	be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_LOG.

       If the SCT is of	an unsupported version (only v1	is currently
       supported), the validation status will be
       SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_VERSION.

       If the SCT's signature is incorrect, its	timestamp is in	the future
       (relative to the	time in	CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX), or	if it is otherwise
       invalid,	the validation status will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_INVALID.

       If all checks pass, the validation status will be
       SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_VALID.

NOTES
       A return	value of 0 from	SCT_LIST_validate() should not be interpreted
       as a failure. At	a minimum, only	one valid SCT may provide sufficient
       confidence that a certificate has been publicly logged.

RETURN VALUES
       SCT_validate() returns a	negative integer if an internal	error occurs,
       0 if the	SCT fails validation, or 1 if the SCT passes validation.

       SCT_LIST_validate() returns a negative integer if an internal error
       occurs, 0 if any	of SCTs	fails validation, or 1 if they all pass
       validation.

       SCT_get_validation_status() returns the validation status of the	SCT.
       If SCT_validate() or SCT_LIST_validate()	have not been passed that SCT,
       the returned value will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET.
