Hi, I am new at using openssl API's. Here is my situation.
I have following set of certificates with X509 extensions defined for code signing in PKCS#7 format. Root CA - Key usage (critical): Certificate Sign, CRL Sign CVC Sub- CA - Key usage (critical): Certificate Sign, CRL Sign CVC cert - Key usage (critical): Digital Signature, Key Encipherment. Extended Key Usage (critical): Code Signing PKCS#7 signature includes CVC Sub-CA and CVC certs. So when I verify the signature using PKCS7_verify() I am getting error: "unsupported certificate purpose". I tried openssl smime command line utility. It fails with same error. Following is the command I am using: openssl smime -verify -CAfile Root-CA -inform PEM -in pk7blob -content data-signed Verification failure 3420:error:21075075:PKCS7 routines:PKCS7_verify:certificate verify error:pk7_smi me.c:231:Verify error:unsupported certificate purpose If I use '-noverify', signature itself is verified successfully. I am not sure why it is failing even "Code Signing" is mentioned in Extended Key usage. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Prkj
