Some tokens might not fail when creating EC public keys in the incorrect
format, but they will later not be able to use them to verify signatures.
References #872.
The payload we sent before is not compliant with RFC 2407 and thus some
peers might abort negotiation (e.g. with an INVALID-PROTOCOL-ID error).
Fixes#819.
Some CAs don't use SHA-1 hashes of the public key as subjectKeyIdentifier and
authorityKeyIdentifier. If that's the case we can't force the
calculation of the hash to compare that to authorityKeyIdentifier in the CRL,
instead we use the subjectKeyIdentifier stored in the issuer certificate, if
available. Otherwise, we fall back to the SHA-1 hash (or comparing the
DNs) as before.
If many requests are sent to the kernel the events generated by these
requests may fill the receive buffer before the daemon is able to read
these messages.
Fixes#783.
This adds support for RFC 7427 signature authentication in IKEv2,
enabling the use of stronger signature schemes (e.g. RSA with SHA-2)
for IKE authentication.
Public key constraints defined in `rightauth` are now also checked
against IKEv2 signature schemes (may be disabled via strongswan.conf).
Fixes#863.
If this is disabled the schemes configured in `rightauth` are only
checked against signature schemes used in the certificate chain and
signature schemes used during IKEv2 are ignored.
Disabling this could be helpful if existing connections with peers that
don't support RFC 7427 use signature schemes in `rightauth` to verify
certificate chains.
This enables late connection switching based on the signature scheme used
for IKEv2 and allows to enforce stronger signature schemes.
This may break existing connections with peers that don't support RFC 7427
if signature schemes are currently used in `rightauth` for certificate chain
validation and if the configured schemes are stronger than the default used
for IKE (e.g. SHA-1 for RSA).
We use the new signature authentication instead for this. This is not
backward compatible but we only released one version with BLISS support,
and the key format will change anyway with the next release.
There is a similar function to map key_type_t and hasher_t to an OID,
but this maps schemes directly (and to use the other function we'd
have to have a function to map schemes to hash algorithms first).
The previous code allowed an attacker to slip in an IKE_SA_INIT with
both SPIs and MID 1 set when an IKE_AUTH would be expected instead.
