 * Copyright (c) 2010-2014 Digital Bazaar, Inc.
 *
 * The ASN.1 representation of an X.509v3 certificate is as follows
 * (see RFC 2459):
 *
 * Certificate ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   tbsCertificate       TBSCertificate,
 *   signatureAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
 *   signatureValue       BIT STRING
 * }
 *
 * TBSCertificate ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   version         [0]  EXPLICIT Version DEFAULT v1,
 *   serialNumber         CertificateSerialNumber,
 *   signature            AlgorithmIdentifier,
 *   issuer               Name,
 *   validity             Validity,
 *   subject              Name,
 *   subjectPublicKeyInfo SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
 *   issuerUniqueID  [1]  IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
 *                        -- If present, version shall be v2 or v3
 *   subjectUniqueID [2]  IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
 *                        -- If present, version shall be v2 or v3
 *   extensions      [3]  EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL
 *                        -- If present, version shall be v3
 * }
 *
 * Version ::= INTEGER  { v1(0), v2(1), v3(2) }
 *
 * CertificateSerialNumber ::= INTEGER
 *
 * Name ::= CHOICE {
 *   // only one possible choice for now
 *   RDNSequence
 * }
 *
 * RDNSequence ::= SEQUENCE OF RelativeDistinguishedName
 *
 * RelativeDistinguishedName ::= SET OF AttributeTypeAndValue
 *
 * AttributeTypeAndValue ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   type     AttributeType,
 *   value    AttributeValue
 * }
 * AttributeType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
 * AttributeValue ::= ANY DEFINED BY AttributeType
 *
 * Validity ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   notBefore      Time,
 *   notAfter       Time
 * }
 *
 * Time ::= CHOICE {
 *   utcTime        UTCTime,
 *   generalTime    GeneralizedTime
 * }
 *
 * UniqueIdentifier ::= BIT STRING
 *
 * SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   algorithm            AlgorithmIdentifier,
 *   subjectPublicKey     BIT STRING
 * }
 *
 * Extensions ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension
 *
 * Extension ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   extnID      OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
 *   critical    BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
 *   extnValue   OCTET STRING
 * }
 *
 * The only key algorithm currently supported for PKI is RSA.
 *
 * RSASSA-PSS signatures are described in RFC 3447 and RFC 4055.
 *
 * PKCS#10 v1.7 describes certificate signing requests:
 *
 * CertificationRequestInfo:
 *
 * CertificationRequestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   version       INTEGER { v1(0) } (v1,...),
 *   subject       Name,
 *   subjectPKInfo SubjectPublicKeyInfo{{ PKInfoAlgorithms }},
 *   attributes    [0] Attributes{{ CRIAttributes }}
 * }
 *
 * Attributes { ATTRIBUTE:IOSet } ::= SET OF Attribute{{ IOSet }}
 *
 * CRIAttributes  ATTRIBUTE  ::= {
 *   ... -- add any locally defined attributes here -- }
 *
 * Attribute { ATTRIBUTE:IOSet } ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   type   ATTRIBUTE.&id({IOSet}),
 *   values SET SIZE(1..MAX) OF ATTRIBUTE.&Type({IOSet}{@type})

  /* From: RFC3280 - Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate
    Section 6: Certification Path Validation
    See inline parentheticals related to this particular implementation.

    The primary goal of path validation is to verify the binding between
    a subject distinguished name or a subject alternative name and subject
    public key, as represented in the end entity certificate, based on the
    public key of the trust anchor. This requires obtaining a sequence of
    certificates that support that binding. That sequence should be provided
    in the passed 'chain'. The trust anchor should be in the given CA
    store. The 'end entity' certificate is the certificate provided by the
    end point (typically a server) and is the first in the chain.

    To meet this goal, the path validation process verifies, among other
    things, that a prospective certification path (a sequence of n
    certificates or a 'chain') satisfies the following conditions:

    (a) for all x in {1, ..., n-1}, the subject of certificate x is
          the issuer of certificate x+1;

    (b) certificate 1 is issued by the trust anchor;

    (c) certificate n is the certificate to be validated; and

    (d) for all x in {1, ..., n}, the certificate was valid at the
          time in question.

    Note that here 'n' is index 0 in the chain and 1 is the last certificate
    in the chain and it must be signed by a certificate in the connection's
    CA store.

    The path validation process also determines the set of certificate
    policies that are valid for this path, based on the certificate policies
    extension, policy mapping extension, policy constraints extension, and
    inhibit any-policy extension.

    Note: Policy mapping extension not supported (Not Required).

    Note: If the certificate has an unsupported critical extension, then it
    must be rejected.

    Note: A certificate is self-issued if the DNs that appear in the subject
    and issuer fields are identical and are not empty.

    The path validation algorithm assumes the following seven inputs are
    provided to the path processing logic. What this specific implementation
    will use is provided parenthetically:

    (a) a prospective certification path of length n (the 'chain')
    (b) the current date/time: ('now').
    (c) user-initial-policy-set: A set of certificate policy identifiers
          naming the policies that are acceptable to the certificate user.
          The user-initial-policy-set contains the special value any-policy
          if the user is not concerned about certificate policy
          (Not implemented. Any policy is accepted).
    (d) trust anchor information, describing a CA that serves as a trust
          anchor for the certification path. The trust anchor information
          includes:

      (1)  the trusted issuer name,
      (2)  the trusted public key algorithm,
      (3)  the trusted public key, and
      (4)  optionally, the trusted public key parameters associated
             with the public key.

      (Trust anchors are provided via certificates in the CA store).

      The trust anchor information may be provided to the path processing
      procedure in the form of a self-signed certificate. The trusted anchor
      information is trusted because it was delivered to the path processing
      procedure by some trustworthy out-of-band procedure. If the trusted
      public key algorithm requires parameters, then the parameters are
      provided along with the trusted public key (No parameters used in this
      implementation).

    (e) initial-policy-mapping-inhibit, which indicates if policy mapping is
          allowed in the certification path.
          (Not implemented, no policy checking)

    (f) initial-explicit-policy, which indicates if the path must be valid
          for at least one of the certificate policies in the user-initial-
          policy-set.
          (Not implemented, no policy checking)

    (g) initial-any-policy-inhibit, which indicates whether the
          anyPolicy OID should be processed if it is included in a
          certificate.
          (Not implemented, so any policy is valid provided that it is
          not marked as critical) */

  /* Basic Path Processing:

    For each certificate in the 'chain', the following is checked:

    1. The certificate validity period includes the current time.
    2. The certificate was signed by its parent (where the parent is either
       the next in the chain or from the CA store). Allow processing to
       continue to the next step if no parent is found but the certificate is
       in the CA store.
    3. TODO: The certificate has not been revoked.
    4. The certificate issuer name matches the parent's subject name.
    5. TODO: If the certificate is self-issued and not the final certificate
       in the chain, skip this step, otherwise verify that the subject name
       is within one of the permitted subtrees of X.500 distinguished names
       and that each of the alternative names in the subjectAltName extension
       (critical or non-critical) is within one of the permitted subtrees for
       that name type.
    6. TODO: If the certificate is self-issued and not the final certificate
       in the chain, skip this step, otherwise verify that the subject name
       is not within one of the excluded subtrees for X.500 distinguished
       names and none of the subjectAltName extension names are excluded for
       that name type.
    7. The other steps in the algorithm for basic path processing involve
       handling the policy extension which is not presently supported in this
       implementation. Instead, if a critical policy extension is found, the
       certificate is rejected as not supported.
    8. If the certificate is not the first or if its the only certificate in
       the chain (having no parent from the CA store or is self-signed) and it
       has a critical key usage extension, verify that the keyCertSign bit is
       set. If the key usage extension exists, verify that the basic
       constraints extension exists. If the basic constraints extension exists,
       verify that the cA flag is set. If pathLenConstraint is set, ensure that
       the number of certificates that precede in the chain (come earlier
       in the chain as implemented below), excluding the very first in the
       chain (typically the end-entity one), isn't greater than the
       pathLenConstraint. This constraint limits the number of intermediate
       CAs that may appear below a CA before only end-entity certificates
       may be issued. */
