With openssl 1.0, I can validate the certificate chain. With openssl 1.1 it fails with the error X509_V_ERR_EE_KEY_TOO_SMALL. See dump #1. I believe that this is due to new 1.1 code x509_vfy.c:check_key_level() calling X509_get0_pubkey(). That call will fail for the non-standard algorithm. The certificate is for old vendor hardware that cannot be updated. What are my choices? - Remain on 1.0 - Some configuration option? - Something else?The immediate cause is the order of the checks in check_key_level(). It first checks for a supported key, and only then short-circuits the logic at level <= 0 (my fault). Perhaps level 0 should not be strict in this way, in which case we might reverse the order of then (pkey == NULL) and (level <= 0) tests: static int check_key_level(X509_STORE_CTX *ctx, X509 *cert) { EVP_PKEY *pkey = X509_get0_pubkey(cert); int level = ctx->param->auth_level; /* Unsupported or malformed keys are not secure */ if (pkey == NULL) return 0; if (level <= 0) return 1; if (level > NUM_AUTH_LEVELS) level = NUM_AUTH_LEVELS; return EVP_PKEY_security_bits(pkey) >= minbits_table[level - 1]; }
If you're suggesting that altering the above code to do the level check before the call to get pkey, I think that would fix my problem.
... if I can set level to a negative value. How do I set level? Is there an API or a configuration file.
