Subject: [PYTHON-CRYPTO] PKCS7 verification with CA hierarchy
Message-ID: <200711301901.28338.sebastien@fluendo.com>

Hi,

I have a CA hierarchy with a root CA and two sub CAs,
and I want to verify that the signer of a pkcs7
has been issued by one specific sub CA.

If the signer has been issued by another sub CA
or if the signer has been issued directly by
the root CA, I want the verification to fail,
even if the pkc7 contains its own certification chain.

I tried to do it with M2Crypto, but I can't verify
the issuer is not the root CA or that the pkcs7
contains another sub CA in it certification chain.

I tried to fiddle with the certificate stack
and certificate store without results.


How could I do this in python ? Is it even possible ?

rootCACertFile = "rootca/cacert.pem"
ca1CertFile = "subca1/cacert.pem"

rootCertFile = "rootca/testcert.pem"

data = "some data"

def sign(key, cert, secret, stack=None):
    signer = SMIME.SMIME()
    signer.load_key(key, cert, lambda x: secret)
    if stack:
        signer.set_x509_stack(stack)
    signerDataBuff = BIO.MemoryBuffer(data)
    return signer.sign(signerDataBuff)

        result = verifyer.verify(p7)
        return result == data
    except SMIME.PKCS7_Error, e:
        return False


rootCACert = X509.load_cert(rootCACertFile)
ca1Cert = X509.load_cert(ca1CertFile)
ca2Cert = X509.load_cert(ca2CertFile)

stack = X509.X509_Stack()
store = X509.X509_Store()

store.add_cert(rootCACert)
store.add_cert(ca1Cert)
#store.add_cert(ca2Cert)

#stack.push(rootCACert)
#stack.push(ca1Cert)
#stack.push(ca2Cert)

# Sign with key/cert issued by sub CA 1
p7 = sign(sub1KeyFile, sub1CertFile, sub1Secret)
print "Should Succeed:", verify(store, stack, p7)

# Sign with key/cert issued by root CA
p7 = sign(rootKeyFile, rootCertFile, rootSecret)
print "Should Fail:   ", verify(store, stack, p7)

# Sign with key/cert issued by sub CA 2
p7 = sign(sub2KeyFile, sub2CertFile, sub2Secret)
print "Should Fail:   ", verify(store, stack, p7)

# Sign with key/cert issued by sub CA 2
# with the sub CA 2 certificate embedded in the certification chain
signerstack = X509.X509_Stack()
signerstack.push(ca2Cert)
p7 = sign(sub2KeyFile, sub2CertFile, sub2Secret, signerstack)
print "Should Fail:   ", verify(store, stack, p7)
