NAME         top

       gnutls_pkcs7_verify_direct - API function

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <gnutls/pkcs7.h>

       int gnutls_pkcs7_verify_direct(gnutls_pkcs7_t pkcs7,
       gnutls_x509_crt_t signer, unsigned idx, const gnutls_datum_t *
       data, unsigned flags);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_pkcs7_t pkcs7
                   should contain a gnutls_pkcs7_t type

       gnutls_x509_crt_t signer
                   the certificate believed to have signed the structure

       unsigned idx
                   the index of the signature info to check

       const gnutls_datum_t * data
                   The data to be verified or NULL

       unsigned flags
                   Zero or an OR list of gnutls_certificate_verify_flags

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will verify the provided data against the signature
       present in the SignedData of the PKCS 7 structure. If the data
       provided are NULL then the data in the encapsulatedContent field
       will be used instead.

       Note that, unlike gnutls_pkcs7_verify() this function does not
       verify the key purpose of the signer. It is expected for the
       caller to verify the intended purpose of the signer -e.g., via
       gnutls_x509_crt_get_key_purpose_oid(), or
       gnutls_x509_crt_check_key_purpose().

       Note also, that since GnuTLS 3.5.6 this function introduces
       checks in the end certificate ( signer ), including time checks
       and key usage checks.

RETURNS         top

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a
       negative error value. A verification error results to a
       GNUTLS_E_PK_SIG_VERIFY_FAILED and the lack of encapsulated data
       to verify to a GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE.
