<p>OCSP_request_add1_nonce, OCSP_basic_add1_nonce, OCSP_check_nonce, OCSP_copy_nonce - OCSP nonce functions</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/ocsp.h>
int OCSP_request_add1_nonce(OCSP_REQUEST *req, unsigned char *val, int len);
int OCSP_basic_add1_nonce(OCSP_BASICRESP *resp, unsigned char *val, int len);
int OCSP_copy_nonce(OCSP_BASICRESP *resp, OCSP_REQUEST *req);
int OCSP_check_nonce(OCSP_REQUEST *req, OCSP_BASICRESP *resp);</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce of value <b>val</b> and length <b>len</b> to OCSP request <b>req</b>. If <b>val</b> is <b>NULL</b> a random nonce is used. If <b>len</b> is zero or negative a default length will be used (currently 16 bytes).</p>
<p>OCSP_basic_add1_nonce() is identical to OCSP_request_add1_nonce() except it adds a nonce to OCSP basic response <b>resp</b>.</p>
<p>OCSP_check_nonce() compares the nonce value in <b>req</b> and <b>resp</b>.</p>
<p>OCSP_copy_nonce() copies any nonce value present in <b>req</b> to <b>resp</b>.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>OCSP_request_add1_nonce() and OCSP_basic_add1_nonce() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.</p>
<p>OCSP_copy_nonce() returns 1 if a nonce was successfully copied, 2 if no nonce was present in <b>req</b> and 0 if an error occurred.</p>
<p>OCSP_check_nonce() returns the result of the nonce comparison between <b>req</b> and <b>resp</b>. The return value indicates the result of the comparison. If nonces are present and equal 1 is returned. If the nonces are absent 2 is returned. If a nonce is present in the response only 3 is returned. If nonces are present and unequal 0 is returned. If the nonce is present in the request only then -1 is returned.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>For most purposes the nonce value in a request is set to a random value so the <b>val</b> parameter in OCSP_request_add1_nonce() is usually NULL.</p>
<p>An OCSP nonce is typically added to an OCSP request to thwart replay attacks by checking the same nonce value appears in the response.</p>
<p>Some responders may include a nonce in all responses even if one is not supplied.</p>
<p>Some responders cache OCSP responses and do not sign each response for performance reasons. As a result they do not support nonces.</p>
<p>The return values of OCSP_check_nonce() can be checked to cover each case. A positive return value effectively indicates success: nonces are both present and match, both absent or present in the response only. A nonzero return additionally covers the case where the nonce is present in the request only: this will happen if the responder doesn't support nonces. A zero return value indicates present and mismatched nonces: this should be treated as an error condition.</p>
