💖 gnutls_x509_ext_ct_import_scts(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual, section 3, and it's literally the glow-up your Certificate Transparency game needed. it's called gnutls_x509_ext_ct_import_scts, and yes the name is a whole mouthful, but we're gonna make it make sense. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_x509_ext_ct_import_scts — API function 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/x509-ext.h>

int gnutls_x509_ext_ct_import_scts(const gnutls_datum_t * ext,
gnutls_x509_ct_scts_t scts, unsigned int flags);

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • const gnutls_datum_t * ext — a DER-encoded extension, no cap. that's the raw bytes you're handing over. 🍓
  • gnutls_x509_ct_scts_t scts — the SCT list itself, aka where the goodies land. 👑
  • unsigned int flags — should be zero. that's it. zero. nothing else, don't get creative. 😭

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so here's the tea: this function reads a SignedCertificateTimestampList structure straight out of the DER data of the X.509 Certificate Transparency SCT extension, and that extension's OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.11129.2.4.2. write it down, iykyk. 🔥

the list of SCTs (that's Signed Certificate Timestamps if we're being formal) gets placed onto scts, and here's the important bit — scts has to be initialized before you call this. like, previously. with gnutls_x509_ext_ct_scts_init(). don't skip that step, it's giving main character energy but in a bad way. 🙈

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (that's 0 bestie) on success, or a negative error value if things went sideways. 💀
