<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><code>SCT_validate()</code> will check that an SCT is valid and verify its signature.
<code>SCT_LIST_validate()</code> performs the same checks on an entire stack of SCTs.
The result of the validation checks can be obtained by passing the SCT to
<code>SCT_get_validation_status()</code>.</p>
<p>A CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX must be provided that specifies:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The certificate the SCT was issued for.</p>
<p>Failure to provide the certificate will result in the validation status being
SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The issuer of that certificate.</p>
<p>This is only required if the SCT was issued for a pre-certificate
(see <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6962.txt" class="rfc">RFC 6962</a>). If it is required but not provided, the validation status will
be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNVERIFIED.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A CTLOG_STORE that contains the CT log that issued this SCT.</p>
<p>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.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If the SCT is of an unsupported version (only v1 is currently supported), the
validation status will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN_VERSION.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If all checks pass, the validation status will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_VALID.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>A return value of 0 from <code>SCT_LIST_validate()</code> 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.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1>
<p><code>SCT_validate()</code> returns a negative integer if an internal error occurs, 0 if the
SCT fails validation, or 1 if the SCT passes validation.</p>
<p><code>SCT_LIST_validate()</code> returns a negative integer if an internal error occurs, 0
if any of SCTs fails validation, or 1 if they all pass validation.</p>
<p><code>SCT_get_validation_status()</code> returns the validation status of the SCT.
If <code>SCT_validate()</code> or <code>SCT_LIST_validate()</code> have not been passed that SCT, the
returned value will be SCT_VALIDATION_STATUS_NOT_SET.</p>
