Hello, Botan 1.1.8 was released today, fixing several bugs in the X.509 code. In particular, there were several omissions or problems with how the certificate path validation algorithm worked before this release. (A new testsuite to test the path validation is available on the downloads page). There were also problems handling expiration dates > January, 2038, which have been fixed. The validation algorithm now returns an error code which states the nature of the problem found (signature error, cert expired, etc). Lastly, lots of previously hard-coded policy decisions (mainly related to what extensions to included, and whether or not to mark them critical) have now been made configurable at run time. -Jack |
