/* This file defines a function that parses DER with various errors and
|
|
* violations. This is not a part of the library itself, because the allowed
|
|
* violations are chosen arbitrarily and do not follow or establish any
|
|
* standard.
|
|
*
|
|
* In many places it matters that different implementations do not only accept
|
|
* the same set of valid signatures, but also reject the same set of signatures.
|
|
* The only means to accomplish that is by strictly obeying a standard, and not
|
|
* accepting anything else.
|
|
*
|
|
* Nonetheless, sometimes there is a need for compatibility with systems that
|
|
* use signatures which do not strictly obey DER. The snippet below shows how
|
|
* certain violations are easily supported. You may need to adapt it.
|
|
*
|
|
* Do not use this for new systems. Use well-defined DER or compact signatures
|
|
* instead if you have the choice (see secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_parse_der and
|
|
* secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_parse_compact).
|
|
*
|
|
* The supported violations are:
|
|
* - All numbers are parsed as nonnegative integers, even though X.609-0207
|
|
* section 8.3.3 specifies that integers are always encoded as two's
|
|
* complement.
|
|
* - Integers can have length 0, even though section 8.3.1 says they can't.
|
|
* - Integers with overly long padding are accepted, violation section
|
|
* 8.3.2.
|
|
* - 127-byte long length descriptors are accepted, even though section
|
|
* 8.1.3.5.c says that they are not.
|
|
* - Trailing garbage data inside or after the signature is ignored.
|
|
* - The length descriptor of the sequence is ignored.
|
|
*
|
|
* Compared to for example OpenSSL, many violations are NOT supported:
|
|
* - Using overly long tag descriptors for the sequence or integers inside,
|
|
* violating section 8.1.2.2.
|
|
* - Encoding primitive integers as constructed values, violating section
|
|
* 8.3.1.

/** Parse a signature in "lax DER" format

|
|
* Returns: 1 when the signature could be parsed, 0 otherwise.
|
|
* Args: ctx: a secp256k1 context object
|

|
|
* In: input: a pointer to the signature to be parsed

|
* inputlen: the length of the array pointed to be input

|
|
* This function will accept any valid DER encoded signature, even if the
|
|
* encoded numbers are out of range. In addition, it will accept signatures
|
|
* which violate the DER spec in various ways. Its purpose is to allow
|
|
* validation of the Bitcoin blockchain, which includes non-DER signatures
|
|
* from before the network rules were updated to enforce DER. Note that
|
|
* the set of supported violations is a strict subset of what OpenSSL will
|
|
* accept.
|
|
*
|
|
* After the call, sig will always be initialized. If parsing failed or the
|
|
* encoded numbers are out of range, signature validation with it is
|
|
* guaranteed to fail for every message and public key.
