Functions

	Name
int	wc_KeyPemToDer(const unsigned char * pem, int pemSz, unsigned char * buff, int buffSz, const char * pass) Converts a key in PEM format to DER format.
int	wc_CertPemToDer(const unsigned char * pem, int pemSz, unsigned char * buff, int buffSz, int type) This function converts a PEM formatted certificate to DER format. Calls OpenSSL function PemToDer.
int	wc_GetPubKeyDerFromCert(struct DecodedCert * cert, byte * derKey, word32 * derKeySz) This function gets the public key in DER format from a populated DecodedCert struct. Users must call wc_InitDecodedCert() and wc_ParseCert() before calling this API. wc_InitDecodedCert() accepts a DER/ASN.1 encoded certificate. To convert a PEM cert to DER, first use wc_CertPemToDer() before calling wc_InitDecodedCert().
int	wolfSSL_CTX_use_certificate_file(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, const char * file, int format) This function loads a certificate file into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). The file is provided by the file argument. The format argument specifies the format type of the file, either SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1 or SSL_FILETYPE_PEM. Please see the examples for proper usage.
int	wolfSSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, const char * file, int format) This function loads a private key file into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). The file is provided by the file argument. The format argument specifies the format type of the file - SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1or SSL_FILETYPE_PEM. Please see the examples for proper usage.
int	wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, const char * file, const char * path) This function loads PEM_formatted CA certificate files into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). These certificates will be treated as trusted root certificates and used to verify certs received from peers during the SSL handshake. The root certificate file, provided by the file argument, may be a single certificate or a file containing multiple certificates. If multiple CA certs are included in the same file, wolfSSL will load them in the same order they are presented in the file. The path argument is a pointer to the name of a directory that contains certificates of trusted root CAs. If the value of file is not NULL, path may be specified as NULL if not needed. If path is specified and NO_WOLFSSL_DIR was not defined when building the library, wolfSSL will load all CA certificates located in the given directory. This function will attempt to load all files in the directory. This function expects PEM formatted CERT_TYPE file with header “--—BEGIN CERTIFICATE--—”.
int	wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations_ex(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, const char * file, const char * path, unsigned int flags) This function loads PEM_formatted CA certificate files into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). These certificates will be treated as trusted root certificates and used to verify certs received from peers during the SSL handshake. The root certificate file, provided by the file argument, may be a single certificate or a file containing multiple certificates. If multiple CA certs are included in the same file, wolfSSL will load them in the same order they are presented in the file. The path argument is a pointer to the name of a directory that contains certificates of trusted root CAs. If the value of file is not NULL, path may be specified as NULL if not needed. If path is specified and NO_WOLFSSL_DIR was not defined when building the library, wolfSSL will load all CA certificates located in the given directory. This function will attempt to load all files in the directory based on flags specified. This function expects PEM formatted CERT_TYPE files with header “--—BEGIN CERTIFICATE--—”.
const char **	wolfSSL_get_system_CA_dirs(word32 * num) This function returns a pointer to an array of strings representing directories wolfSSL will search for system CA certs when wolfSSL_CTX_load_system_CA_certs is called. On systems that don't store certificates in an accessible system directory (such as Apple platforms), this function will always return NULL.
int	wolfSSL_CTX_load_system_CA_certs(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx) On most platforms (including Linux and Windows), this function attempts to load CA certificates into a WOLFSSL_CTX from an OS-dependent CA certificate store. Loaded certificates will be trusted.
int	wolfSSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, const char * file) This function loads a chain of certificates into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). The file containing the certificate chain is provided by the file argument, and must contain PEM_formatted certificates. This function will process up to MAX_CHAIN_DEPTH (default = 9, defined in internal.h) certificates, plus the subject cert.
int	wolfSSL_CTX_der_load_verify_locations(WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx, const char * file, int format) This function is similar to wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations, but allows the loading of DER_formatted CA files into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). It may still be used to load PEM_formatted CA files as well. These certificates will be treated as trusted root certificates and used to verify certs received from peers during the SSL handshake. The root certificate file, provided by the file argument, may be a single certificate or a file containing multiple certificates. If multiple CA certs are included in the same file, wolfSSL will load them in the same order they are presented in the file. The format argument specifies the format which the certificates are in either, SSL_FILETYPE_PEM or SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1 (DER). Unlike wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations, this function does not allow the loading of CA certificates from a given directory path. Note that this function is only available when the wolfSSL library was compiled with WOLFSSL_DER_LOAD defined.

function wolfSSL_CTX_use_certificate_file

int wolfSSL_CTX_use_certificate_file(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx,
    const char * file,
    int format
)

Parameters:

ctx a pointer to a WOLFSSL_CTX structure, created using wolfSSL_CTX_new()
file a pointer to the name of the file containing the certificate to be loaded into the wolfSSL SSL context.
format - format of the certificates pointed to by file. Possible options are SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1 or SSL_FILETYPE_PEM.

See:

Return:

SSL_SUCCESS upon success.
SSL_FAILURE If the function call fails, possible causes might include the file is in the wrong format, or the wrong format has been given using the “format” argument, file doesn’t exist, can’t be read, or is corrupted, an out of memory condition occurs, Base16 decoding fails on the file.

Example

int ret = 0;
WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
...
ret = wolfSSL_CTX_use_certificate_file(ctx, “./client-cert.pem”,
                                 SSL_FILETYPE_PEM);
if (ret != SSL_SUCCESS) {
    // error loading cert file
}
...

function wolfSSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file

int wolfSSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx,
    const char * file,
    int format
)

This function loads a private key file into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). The file is provided by the file argument. The format argument specifies the format type of the file - SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1or SSL_FILETYPE_PEM. Please see the examples for proper usage.

Parameters:

none No parameters.

See:

Return:

SSL_SUCCESS upon success.
SSL_FAILURE The file is in the wrong format, or the wrong format has been given using the “format” argument. The file doesn’t exist, can’t be read, or is corrupted. An out of memory condition occurs. Base16 decoding fails on the file. The key file is encrypted but no password is provided.

If using an external key store and do not have the private key you can instead provide the public key and register the crypro callback to handle the signing. For this you can build with either build with crypto callbacks or PK callbacks. To enable crypto callbacks use –enable-cryptocb or WOLF_CRYPTO_CB and register a crypto callback using wc_CryptoCb_RegisterDevice and set the associated devId using wolfSSL_CTX_SetDevId.

Example

int ret = 0;
WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
...
ret = wolfSSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file(ctx, “./server-key.pem”,
                                SSL_FILETYPE_PEM);
if (ret != SSL_SUCCESS) {
    // error loading key file
}
...

These certificates will be treated as trusted root certificates and used to verify certs received from peers during the SSL handshake. The root certificate file, provided by the file argument, may be a single certificate or a file containing multiple certificates. If multiple CA certs are included in the same file, wolfSSL will load them in the same order they are presented in the file. The path argument is a pointer to the name of a directory that contains certificates of trusted root CAs. If the value of file is not NULL, path may be specified as NULL if not needed. If path is specified and NO_WOLFSSL_DIR was not defined when building the library, wolfSSL will load all CA certificates located in the given directory. This function will attempt to load all files in the directory. This function expects PEM formatted CERT_TYPE file with header “--—BEGIN CERTIFICATE--—”.

Parameters:

ctx pointer to the SSL context, created with wolfSSL_CTX_new().
file pointer to name of the file containing PEM-formatted CA certificates.
path pointer to the name of a directory to load PEM-formatted certificates from.

See:

Return:

SSL_SUCCESS up success.
SSL_FAILURE will be returned if ctx is NULL, or if both file and path are NULL.
SSL_BAD_FILETYPE will be returned if the file is the wrong format.
SSL_BAD_FILE will be returned if the file doesn’t exist, can’t be read, or is corrupted.
MEMORY_E will be returned if an out of memory condition occurs.
ASN_INPUT_E will be returned if Base16 decoding fails on the file.
ASN_BEFORE_DATE_E will be returned if the current date is before the before date.
ASN_AFTER_DATE_E will be returned if the current date is after the after date.
BUFFER_E will be returned if a chain buffer is bigger than the receiving buffer.
BAD_PATH_ERROR will be returned if opendir() fails when trying to open path.

Example

int ret = 0;
WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
...
ret = wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(ctx, “./ca-cert.pem”, NULL);
if (ret != WOLFSSL_SUCCESS) {
    // error loading CA certs
}

function wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations_ex

int wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations_ex(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx,
    const char * file,
    const char * path,
    unsigned int flags
)

This function loads PEM-formatted CA certificate files into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). These certificates will be treated as trusted root certificates and used to verify certs received from peers during the SSL handshake. The root certificate file, provided by the file argument, may be a single certificate or a file containing multiple certificates. If multiple CA certs are included in the same file, wolfSSL will load them in the same order they are presented in the file. The path argument is a pointer to the name of a directory that contains certificates of trusted root CAs. If the value of file is not NULL, path may be specified as NULL if not needed. If path is specified and NO_WOLFSSL_DIR was not defined when building the library, wolfSSL will load all CA certificates located in the given directory. This function will attempt to load all files in the directory based on flags specified. This function expects PEM formatted CERT_TYPE files with header “--—BEGIN CERTIFICATE--—”.

Parameters:

ctx pointer to the SSL context, created with wolfSSL_CTX_new().
file pointer to name of the file containing PEM-formatted CA certificates.
path pointer to the name of a directory to load PEM-formatted certificates from.
flags possible mask values are: WOLFSSL_LOAD_FLAG_IGNORE_ERR, WOLFSSL_LOAD_FLAG_DATE_ERR_OKAY and WOLFSSL_LOAD_FLAG_PEM_CA_ONLY

See:

Return:

SSL_SUCCESS up success.
SSL_FAILURE will be returned if ctx is NULL, or if both file and path are NULL. This will also be returned if at least one cert is loaded successfully but there is one or more that failed. Check error stack for reason.
SSL_BAD_FILETYPE will be returned if the file is the wrong format.
SSL_BAD_FILE will be returned if the file doesn’t exist, can’t be read, or is corrupted.
MEMORY_E will be returned if an out of memory condition occurs.
ASN_INPUT_E will be returned if Base16 decoding fails on the file.
BUFFER_E will be returned if a chain buffer is bigger than the receiving buffer.

    // error loading CA certs
}
...

function wolfSSL_get_system_CA_dirs

const char ** wolfSSL_get_system_CA_dirs(
    word32 * num
)

This function returns a pointer to an array of strings representing directories wolfSSL will search for system CA certs when wolfSSL_CTX_load_system_CA_certs is called. On systems that don't store certificates in an accessible system directory (such as Apple platforms), this function will always return NULL.

Parameters:

num pointer to a word32 that will be populated with the length of the array of strings.

See:

Return:

Valid pointer on success.
NULL pointer on failure.

Example

WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
const char** dirs;
word32 numDirs;

dirs = wolfSSL_get_system_CA_dirs(&numDirs);
for (int i = 0; i < numDirs; ++i) {
    printf("Potential system CA dir: %s\n", dirs[i]);
}
...

function wolfSSL_CTX_load_system_CA_certs

int wolfSSL_CTX_load_system_CA_certs(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx
)

On most platforms (including Linux and Windows), this function attempts to load CA certificates into a WOLFSSL_CTX from an OS-dependent CA certificate store. Loaded certificates will be trusted.

Parameters:

ctx pointer to the SSL context, created with wolfSSL_CTX_new().

See:

Return:

WOLFSSL_SUCCESS on success.
WOLFSSL_BAD_PATH if no system CA certs were loaded.
WOLFSSL_FAILURE for other failure types (e.g. Windows cert store wasn't properly closed).

On Apple platforms (excluding macOS), certificates can't be obtained from the system, and therefore cannot be loaded into the wolfSSL certificate manager. For these platforms, this function enables TLS connections bound to the WOLFSSL_CTX to use the native system trust APIs to verify authenticity of the peer certificate chain if the authenticity of the peer cannot first be authenticated against certificates loaded by the user.

The platforms supported and tested are: Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, RHEL), Windows 10/11, Android, macOS, and iOS.

Example

int ret = 0;
WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
...
ret = wolfSSL_CTX_load_system_CA_certs(ctx,);
if (ret != WOLFSSL_SUCCESS) {
    // error loading system CA certs
}
...

function wolfSSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file

int wolfSSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx,
    const char * file
)

This function loads a chain of certificates into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). The file containing the certificate chain is provided by the file argument, and must contain PEM-formatted certificates. This function will process up to MAX_CHAIN_DEPTH (default = 9, defined in internal.h) certificates, plus the subject cert.

Parameters:

ctx a pointer to a WOLFSSL_CTX structure, created using wolfSSL_CTX_new()
file a pointer to the name of the file containing the chain of certificates to be loaded into the wolfSSL SSL context. Certificates must be in PEM format.

See:

Return:

SSL_SUCCESS upon success
SSL_FAILURE If the function call fails, possible causes might include the file is in the wrong format, or the wrong format has been given using the “format” argument, file doesn’t exist, can’t be read, or is corrupted, an out of memory condition occurs.

Example

int ret = 0;
WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
...
ret = wolfSSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file(ctx, “./cert-chain.pem”);
if (ret != SSL_SUCCESS) {
    // error loading cert file
}
...

function wolfSSL_CTX_der_load_verify_locations

int wolfSSL_CTX_der_load_verify_locations(
    WOLFSSL_CTX * ctx,
    const char * file,
    int format
)

This function is similar to wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations, but allows the loading of DER-formatted CA files into the SSL context (WOLFSSL_CTX). It may still be used to load PEM-formatted CA files as well. These certificates will be treated as trusted root certificates and used to verify certs received from peers during the SSL handshake. The root certificate file, provided by the file argument, may be a single certificate or a file containing multiple certificates. If multiple CA certs are included in the same file, wolfSSL will load them in the same order they are presented in the file. The format argument specifies the format which the certificates are in either, SSL_FILETYPE_PEM or SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1 (DER). Unlike wolfSSL_CTX_load_verify_locations, this function does not allow the loading of CA certificates from a given directory path. Note that this function is only available when the wolfSSL library was compiled with WOLFSSL_DER_LOAD defined.

Parameters:

ctx a pointer to a WOLFSSL_CTX structure, created using wolfSSL_CTX_new()
file a pointer to the name of the file containing the CA certificates to be loaded into the wolfSSL SSL context, with format as specified by format.
format the encoding type of the certificates specified by file. Possible values include SSL_FILETYPE_PEM and SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1.

See:

Return:

SSL_SUCCESS upon success.
SSL_FAILURE upon failure.

Example

int ret = 0;
WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx;
...
ret = wolfSSL_CTX_der_load_verify_locations(ctx, “./ca-cert.der”,
                                      SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1);
if (ret != SSL_SUCCESS) {
    // error loading CA certs
}
...

)

Normally, at the end of the SSL handshake, wolfSSL frees temporary arrays. Calling this function before the handshake begins will prevent wolfSSL from freeing temporary arrays. Temporary arrays may be needed for things such as wolfSSL_get_keys() or PSK hints. When the user is done with temporary arrays, either wolfSSL_FreeArrays() may be called to free the resources immediately, or alternatively the resources will be freed when the associated SSL object is freed.

Parameters:

ssl a pointer to a WOLFSSL structure, created using wolfSSL_new().

See: wolfSSL_FreeArrays

Return: none No return.

Example

WOLFSSL* ssl;
...
wolfSSL_KeepArrays(ssl);

function wolfSSL_FreeArrays

void wolfSSL_FreeArrays(

Normally, at the end of the SSL handshake, wolfSSL frees temporary arrays. If wolfSSL_KeepArrays() has been called before the handshake, wolfSSL will not free temporary arrays. This function explicitly frees temporary arrays and should be called when the user is done with temporary arrays and does not want to wait for the SSL object to be freed to free these resources.

Parameters:

ssl a pointer to a WOLFSSL structure, created using wolfSSL_new().

See: wolfSSL_KeepArrays

Return: none No return.

Example

WOLFSSL* ssl;
...
wolfSSL_FreeArrays(ssl);

    wc_pem_password_cb * cb,
    void * u
)

This function get the DSA parameters from a PEM buffer in bio.

Parameters:

bio pointer to the WOLFSSL_BIO structure for getting PEM memory pointer.
x pointer to be set to new WOLFSSL_DSA structure.
cb password callback function.
u null terminated password string.

See: none

Return:

WOLFSSL_DSA on successfully parsing the PEM buffer a WOLFSSL_DSA structure is created and returned.
Null if failed to parse PEM buffer.

Example

WOLFSSL_BIO* bio;
WOLFSSL_DSA* dsa;
// setup bio
dsa = wolfSSL_PEM_read_bio_DSAparams(bio, NULL, NULL, NULL);

// check dsa is not NULL and then use dsa

function WOLF_STACK_OF

WOLF_STACK_OF(
    WOLFSSL_X509 
) const

This function gets the peer’s certificate chain.

Parameters:

ssl a pointer to a WOLFSSL structure, created using wolfSSL_new().

See:

Return:

pointer returns a pointer to the peer’s Certificate stack.
NULL returned if no peer certificate.

Example

WOLFSSL_CTX* ctx = wolfSSL_CTX_new( method );
WOLFSSL* ssl = wolfSSL_new(ctx);
...
wolfSSL_connect(ssl);
STACK_OF(WOLFSSL_X509)* chain = wolfSSL_get_peer_cert_chain(ssl);
ifchain){
    // You have a pointer to the peer certificate chain
}

function wolfSSL_X509_get_next_altname

char * wolfSSL_X509_get_next_altname(
    WOLFSSL_X509 * 
)

This function returns the next, if any, altname from the peer certificate.

Parameters:

cert a pointer to the wolfSSL_X509 structure.

See:

Return:

NULL if there is not a next altname.
cert->altNamesNext->name from the WOLFSSL_X509 structure that is a string value from the altName list is returned if it exists.

Example

WOLFSSL_X509 x509 = (WOLFSSL_X509*)XMALLOC(sizeof(WOLFSSL_X509), NULL,
                                                    DYNAMIC_TYPE_X509);
…
int x509NextAltName = wolfSSL_X509_get_next_altname(x509);
if(x509NextAltName == NULL){
        //There isn’t another alt name
}

function wolfSSL_X509_get_notBefore

WOLFSSL_ASN1_TIME * wolfSSL_X509_get_notBefore(
    WOLFSSL_X509 * 
)

The function checks to see if x509 is NULL and if it’s not, it returns the notBefore member of the x509 struct.

Parameters:

x509 a pointer to the WOLFSSL_X509 struct.

See: wolfSSL_X509_get_notAfter

Return:

pointer to struct with ASN1_TIME to the notBefore member of the x509 struct.
NULL the function returns NULL if the x509 structure is NULL.

Example

WOLFSSL_X509* x509 = (WOLFSSL_X509)XMALLOC(sizeof(WOLFSSL_X509), NULL,
DYNAMIC_TYPE_X509) ;
…
const WOLFSSL_ASN1_TIME* notAfter = wolfSSL_X509_get_notBefore(x509);
if(notAfter == NULL){
        //The x509 object was NULL
}
