• breaking change Authenticator.server_key_fingerprint and Authenticator.server_cert_fingerprint are now known as Authenticator.key_fingerprint and Authenticator.cert_fingerprint respectively to better reflect that they do not check extended key usage is "server" and may as well be used for authenticating clients (@reynir, #164)
• Add Certificate.fold_decode_pem_multiple to decode multiple pem encoded certificates and make the error handling explicit (ignore, log, fail on first error). Motivated by mirage/ca-certs#30 (@art-w #169)

• Private_key.decode_{pem,der} now has a ~sloppy option to recover from bad keys (where e.g. the private exponent d is wrong). (#135 by @hannesm, reported by @mattjbray in mirage/mirage-crypto#62)

• open variant for errors to make the composable (#133 by @dinosaure, review by @hannesm)

v0.11.0 (2020-04-07)

• BREAKING Validation.validate_raw_signature results in a (unit, signature_error) result and logs (Logs.warn) if a weak (non-SHA2) hash algorithm was used. This function is used for verifying signatures on certificates, signing requests, and certificate revocation lists.
• The `CAInvalidSelfSignature constructor (Validation.ca_error) and `ChainInvalidSignature constructor (Validation.chain_validation_error) have been removed.
• BREAKING The polymorphic variant Validation.chain_error is now flat (the tags `Chain and `Leaf have been removed)
• BREAKING Adapted return type of CRL.validate and CRL.verify
• The pretty-printer Public_key.pp is now provided
• All implemented by @hannesm in #132 based on private conversation with @cfcs (who kindly reviewed the changes)

v0.10.0 (2020-03-11)

• BREAKING #131 use mirage-crypto and mirage-crypto-pk instead of nocrypto raise lower OCaml bound to 4.07.0, test 4.10.0 in CI
• BREAKING #131 Certificate.Host_set is now Host.Set, and has pretty-printers
• BREAKING #131 Authenticator.null was removed (fixes #130, suggested by @emillon)
• BREAKING #131 Authenticator.t now requires (non-optional) ~host and ~time arguments which may return an option. This allows to more easily spot the cases where None is provided. Also, time is (unit -> Ptime.t option) instead of Ptime.t -- thus the timestamp at the time of certificate verification is used instead of the time of Authenticator construction. Similar changes in Validation for verify_chain, verify_chain_of_trust, trust_key_fingerprint, trust_cert_fingerprint. fixes #130, suggested by @emillon

v0.9.0 (2020-01-22)

• BREAKING add a whitelist of hash algorithms used for signatures. The default whitelist is the SHA-2 family (without SHA-224), Validation.valid_ca{,s} use all algorithms as default reported by @emillon in #123, fixed in #128
• BREAKING Certificate.hostnames and Signing_request.hostnames (new) return a set of [Wildcard|Strict] * [`host] Domain_name.t (Certificate.Host_set.t) reported by @mmaker in #88, fixed in #127
• BREAKING #127 Signing_request.sign returns a result type now, an error is returned if the signing request was not properly signed
• BREAKING #127 Validation.{verify_chain_of_trust, trust_key_fingerprint, trust_cert_fingerptint} and the type Authenticator.t changed, no longer use of a Certificate.host, but instead a [`host] Domain_name.t (previously, it was a pair)
• BUGFIX support AlgorithmIdentifier of RSA signature algorithms with parameter not present reported by @Ulrar in #108, fixed in #129
• BUGFIX #127 preserve a signed signing request (Country in a DN sometimes uses a non-utf8 string encoding)
• remove deprecation from Validation.trust_cert_fingerprint and Authenticator.server_cert_fingerprint requested by @mben-romdhane in #125, fixed in #126
• Certificate.signature_algorithm, CRL.signature_algorithm, and Signing_request.signature_algorithm are now provided, returning a ([RSA|ECDSA] * Nocrypto.Hash.hash) option requested by @psafont in #123, fixed in #128

• export Private_key.decode_der and encode_der

v0.8.0 (2019-10-10)

• export X509.Distinguished_name.common_name : t -> string option, which extracts the common name of a distinguished name
• Distinguished_name.t is now a Relative_distinguished_name.t list, a Relative_distinguished_name is a Set.S with element type attribute, a variant. It used to be an attribute (expressed as GADT) Gmap.t, but this representation did not conform to RFC 5280, reported by @paurkedal (#117, fixed by #118)
• Now using Set.find_first_opt, which bumps lower OCaml bound to 4.05.0
• Improved pretty-printing for DNs including RFC 4514 conformance (@paurkedal, #119).
• Extension.pp now outputs extension key and its value (#120)

v0.7.1 (2019-08-09)

• revert General_name.t (DNS and IP components) to string/Cstruct.t list

  • NameConstraints uses DNSname with strings with leading dots (.example.com), which are not valid RFC1034 domain names
  • NameConstraints uses IP with IP/netmask, i.e. using 8 octets for an IPv4 address
  • X509.Certificate.hostnames still return a Domain_name.Set.t
  • reported by @reynir
• drop ipaddr dependency

0.7.0 (2019-07-24)

• major restructuring, it is unlikely any pre-0.7.0 users will work with 0.7.0+
• remove sexp de&encoders
• provide pretty-printers for validation errors (and types) instead of to_string functions
• use result type and Rresult instead of custom result types and control monad
• use a GADT map for certificate & csr extensions, distinguished names, general names (avoiding multiple extensions with the same OID, uses the gmap library)
• use domain-name library for hostname validation (instead of custom string matching)
• use ipaddr library for IPs in SubjectAlternativeName extension
• remove Encoding module, provide {en,de}code_{der,pem} in the respective modules (which decoders return (_, [> `Msg of string ]) result, no exceptions raised)
• fix DistributionPoint extension: the CRLissuer is a GeneralName, not a DistinguishedName
• remove Extension.reason_code (Extension.reason was there before, and is now used)
• remove bindings from toplevel, t is now Certificate.t, public_key is now Public_key.t
• use alcotest instead of oUnit

• upgrades opam file to version 2.0
• build system is now dune

0.6.2 (2018-08-24)

• trust_fingerprint / server_fingerprint are renamed to trust_cert_fingerprint / server_cert_fingerprint (now deprecated!)
• fingerprint public keys (rather than certificates): trust_key_fingerprint / server_key_fingerprint
• build certificate paths from the received set (RFC 4158) instead of requiring a strict chain (#74)
• the given trust anchors to Authenticator.chain_of_trust are not validated (to contain KeyUsage / BasicConstraint extensions) anymore, users can use valid_ca and valid_cas to filter CAs upfront

0.4.0 (2015-07-02)

• certificate signing request support (PKCS10)
• basic CA functionality (in CA module): create and sign certificate signing requests
• PEM encoding of X.509 certificates, RSA public and private keys, and certificate signing requests

0.2.1 (2014-12-21)

• server_fingerprint authenticator which validates the server certificate based on a hash algorithm and (server_name * fingerprint) list instead of a set of trust anchors
• whitelist CAcert certificates (which do not include mandatory X.509v3 KeyUsage extension)

0.2.0 (2014-10-30)

• expose Certificate.cert_hostnames, wildcard_matches
