/* General
*
* Please refer to the libpkix Programmer's Guide for detailed information
* about how to use the libpkix library. Certain key warnings and notices from
* that document are repeated here for emphasis.
*
* All identifiers in this file (and all public identifiers defined in
* libpkix) begin with "PKIX_". Private identifiers only intended for use
* within the library begin with "pkix_".
*
* A function returns NULL upon success, and a PKIX_Error pointer upon failure.
*
* Unless otherwise noted, for all accessor (gettor) functions that return a
* PKIX_PL_Object pointer, callers should assume that this pointer refers to a
* shared object. Therefore, the caller should treat this shared object as
* read-only and should not modify this shared object. When done using the
* shared object, the caller should release the reference to the object by
* using the PKIX_PL_Object_DecRef function.
*
* While a function is executing, if its arguments (or anything referred to by
* its arguments) are modified, free'd, or destroyed, the function's behavior
* is undefined.

/* PKIX_CertChainChecker
*
* PKIX_CertChainCheckers provide a standard way for the caller to insert their
* own custom checks to validate certificates. This may be useful in many
* scenarios, including when the caller wishes to validate private certificate
* extensions. The CheckCallback allows custom certificate processing to take
* place. Additionally, a CertChainChecker can optionally maintain state
* between successive calls to the CheckCallback. This certChainCheckerState
* must be an Object (although any object type), allowing it to be
* reference-counted and allowing it to provide the standard Object functions
* (Equals, Hashcode, ToString, Compare, Duplicate). If the caller wishes
* their CertChainChecker to be used during chain building, their
* certChainCheckerState object must implement an appropriate Duplicate
* function. The builder uses this Duplicate function when backtracking.
*
* Once the caller has created a CertChainChecker object, the caller then
* specifies a CertChainChecker object in a ProcessingParams object
* and passes the ProcessingParams object to PKIX_ValidateChain or
* PKIX_BuildChain, which uses the objects to call the user's callback
* functions as needed during the validation or building process.
*
* A CertChainChecker may be presented certificates in the "reverse" direction
* (from trust anchor to target) or in the "forward" direction (from target to
* trust anchor). All CertChainCheckers must support "reverse checking", while
* support for "forward checking" is optional, but recommended. If "forward
* checking" is not supported, building chains may be much less efficient. The
* PKIX_CertChainChecker_IsForwardCheckingSupported function is used to
* determine whether forward checking is supported, and the
* PKIX_CertChainChecker_IsForwardDirectionExpected function is used to
* determine whether the CertChainChecker has been initialized to expect the
* certificates to be presented in the "forward" direction.
*/
/*
* FUNCTION: PKIX_CertChainChecker_CheckCallback
* DESCRIPTION:
*
* This callback function checks whether the specified Cert pointed to by
* "cert" is valid using "checker's" internal certChainCheckerState (if any)
* and removes the critical extensions that it processes (if any) from the
* List of OIDs (possibly empty) pointed to by "unresolvedCriticalExtensions".
* If the checker finds that the certificate is not valid, an Error pointer is
* returned.
*
* If the checker uses non-blocking I/O, the address of a platform-dependent
* non-blocking I/O context ("nbioContext") will be stored at "pNBIOContext",
* which the caller may use, in a platform-dependent way, to wait, poll, or
* otherwise determine when to try again. If the checker does not use
* non-blocking I/O, NULL will always be stored at "pNBIOContext". If a non-NULL
* value was stored, on a subsequent call the checker will attempt to complete
* the pending I/O and, if successful, NULL will be stored at "pNBIOContext".
*
* PARAMETERS:
* "checker"
* Address of CertChainChecker whose certChainCheckerState and
* CheckCallback logic is to be used. Must be non-NULL.
* "cert"
* Address of Cert that is to be validated using "checker".
* Must be non-NULL.
* "unresolvedCriticalExtensions"
* Address of List of OIDs that represents the critical certificate
* extensions that have yet to be resolved. This parameter may be
* modified during the function call. Must be non-NULL.
* "pNBIOContext"
* Address at which is stored a platform-dependent structure indicating
* whether checking was suspended for non-blocking I/O. Must be non-NULL.
* "plContext"
* Platform-specific context pointer.
* THREAD SAFETY:
* Thread Safe
*
* Multiple threads must be able to safely call this function without
* worrying about conflicts, even if they're operating on the same object.
* RETURNS:
* Returns NULL if the function succeeds.
* Returns a CertChainChecker Error if the function fails in a non-fatal way.
* Returns a Fatal Error if the function fails in an unrecoverable way.

/*
* FUNCTION: PKIX_CertChainChecker_Create
* DESCRIPTION:
*
* Creates a new CertChainChecker and stores it at "pChecker". The new
* CertChainChecker uses the CheckCallback pointed to by "callback" as its
* callback function. It uses the Object pointed to by "initialState" (if
* any) as its initial state. As noted above, the initial state Object must
* provide a custom implementation of PKIX_PL_Object_Duplicate if the
* CertChainChecker is to be used during certificate chain building.
*
* A CertChainChecker may be presented certificates in the "reverse"
* direction (from trust anchor to target) or in the "forward" direction
* (from target to trust anchor). All CertChainCheckers must support
* "reverse checking", while support for "forward checking" is optional. The
* CertChainChecker is initialized with two Boolean flags that deal with this
* distinction: "forwardCheckingSupported" and "forwardDirectionExpected".
* If the "forwardCheckingSupported" Boolean flag is TRUE, it indicates that
* this CertChainChecker is capable of checking certificates in the "forward"
* direction (as well as the "reverse" direction, which all CertChainCheckers
* MUST support). The "forwardDirectionExpected" Boolean flag indicates in
* which direction the CertChainChecker should expect the certificates to be
* presented. This is particularly useful for CertChainCheckers that are
* capable of checking in either the "forward" direction or the "reverse"
* direction, but have different processing steps depending on the direction.
*
* The CertChainChecker also uses the List of OIDs pointed to by "extensions"
* as the supported certificate extensions. All certificate extensions that
* the CertChainChecker might possibly recognize and be able to process
* should be included in the List of supported extensions. If "checker" does
* not recognize or process any certificate extensions, "extensions" should
* be set to NULL.
*
* PARAMETERS:
* "callback"
* The CheckCallback function to be used. Must be non-NULL.
* "forwardCheckingSupported"
* A Boolean value indicating whether or not this CertChainChecker is
* capable of checking certificates in the "forward" direction.
* "forwardDirectionExpected"
* A Boolean value indicating whether or not this CertChainChecker should
* be used to check in the "forward" direction.
* "extensions"
* Address of List of OIDs representing the supported extensions.
* "initialState"
* Address of Object representing the CertChainChecker's initial state
* (if any).
* "pChecker"
* Address where object pointer will be stored. Must be non-NULL.
* "plContext"
* Platform-specific context pointer.
* THREAD SAFETY:
* Thread Safe (see Thread Safety Definitions in Programmer's Guide)
* RETURNS:
* Returns NULL if the function succeeds.
* Returns a CertChainChecker Error if the function fails in a non-fatal way.
* Returns a Fatal Error if the function fails in an unrecoverable way.
