=head1 DESCRIPTION

A B<CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX> is used by functions that evaluate whether Signed

Certificate Timestamps (SCTs) fulfil a Certificate Transparency (CT) policy.

This policy may be, for example, that at least one valid SCT is available. To

determine this, an SCT's timestamp and signature must be verified.

This requires:

=over 2

=item *

the public key of the log that issued the SCT

=item *

the certificate that the SCT was issued for

=item *

the issuer certificate (if the SCT was issued for a pre-certificate)

=item *

the current time

=back

The above requirements are met using the setters described below.

CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_new() creates an empty policy evaluation context. This

should then be populated using:

=over 2

=item *

CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_set1_cert() to provide the certificate the SCTs were issued for

Increments the reference count of the certificate.

=item *

CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_set1_issuer() to provide the issuer certificate

Increments the reference count of the certificate.

=item *

CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_set_shared_CTLOG_STORE() to provide a list of logs that are trusted as sources of SCTs

Holds a pointer to the CTLOG_STORE, so the CTLOG_STORE must outlive the

CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX.

=item *

CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_set_time() to set the time SCTs should be compared with to determine if they are valid

The SCT timestamp will be compared to this time to check whether the SCT was

issued in the future. RFC6962 states that "TLS clients MUST reject SCTs whose

timestamp is in the future". By default, this will be set to 5 minutes in the

future (e.g. (time() + 300) * 1000), to allow for clock drift.

The time should be in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

=back

Each setter has a matching getter for accessing the current value.

When no longer required, the B<CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX> should be passed to

CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_free() to delete it.

=head1 NOTES

The issuer certificate only needs to be provided if at least one of the SCTs

was issued for a pre-certificate. This will be the case for SCTs embedded in a

certificate (i.e. those in an X.509 extension), but may not be the case for SCTs

found in the TLS SCT extension or OCSP response.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

CT_POLICY_EVAL_CTX_new() will return NULL if malloc fails.
