Description:
------------
i need openssl api support for spkac

now there's the possibility to sign a pkcs10 csr (created by explorer) but not an spkac created by firefox/mozilla/netscape/safary ...

check www.openca.org for more information... i need that api to create something similar but more usable on the GOsa project http://gosa.gonicus.de

Not sure how to go about submitting a patch I am working on to address this.
 [2011-12-06 11:28 UTC] jason dot gerfen at gmail dot com
Here is a patch to implement three new functions to help with verification of the SPKAC HTML keygen element.

To patch:

1. Download PHP-5.3.8
2. Download patch from here (spki.patch)
3. Apply patch
%> patch -p0 < spki.patch
4. Configure and compiled PHP
%> ./configure --with-openssl=/path/to/openssl
%> make && make install

Test script:
$key = openssl_pkey_new(array('digest_alg' => 'sha1',
                              'private_key_type' => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,
                              'private_key_bits' => 2048));

if (function_exists('openssl_spki_new')){
 $spki = openssl_spki_new($key, 'password');
 echo $spki.'\n\r';
}

if (function_exists('openssl_spki_verify')){
 echo openssl_spki_verify(preg_replace('/SPKAC=/', '', $spki)).'\n\r';
}

if (function_exists('openssl_spki_export')){
 echo openssl_spki_export(preg_replace('/SPKAC=/', '', $spki)).'\n\r';
}

I modified the test case and fixed a slight memory problem that would occasionally take place when allocating memory for the openssl_spki_new() return value.

echo "Generating private key...";
$key = openssl_pkey_new(array('digest_alg' => 'sha1',
                              'private_key_type' => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,
                              'private_key_bits' => 2048));
echo "done\n";
echo "============================\n";

echo "Creating SPKAC...\n";
if (function_exists('openssl_spki_new')){
 $spki = openssl_spki_new($key, 'wtfd00d');
 echo $spki;
}
echo "done\n";
echo "============================\n";

echo "SPKAC details...\n";
if (function_exists('openssl_spki_details')){
 $x = (empty($_POST['spki-key'])) ?
  openssl_spki_details(preg_replace('/SPKAC=/', '', $spki)) :
  openssl_spki_details($_POST['spki-key']);
 var_dump($x);
}
echo "done\n";
echo "============================\n";

echo "Verifying SPKAC...\n";
if (function_exists('openssl_spki_verify')){
 $y = (empty($_POST['spki-key'])) ?
  openssl_spki_verify(preg_replace('/SPKAC=/', '', $spki)) :
  openssl_spki_verify($_POST['spki-key']);
 var_dump($y);
}
echo "\n============================\n";

echo "Exporting public key from SPKAC...\n";
if (function_exists('openssl_spki_export')){
 $z = (empty($_POST['spki-key'])) ?
  openssl_spki_export(preg_replace('/SPKAC=/', '', $spki)) :
  openssl_spki_export($_POST['spki-key']);
 var_dump($z);
}

Since I have not seen any changes on this I am going to post the patch to php-
internals list.

Hi!

Thanks for the patch, please add some test cases as well (phpt format) so we can 
easily valid the new functions.

Also be sure that the patched ssl can still be built against older openssl version 
as we still support them (0.9.x serie for trunk and 5.4).

Please see the phpt files in ext/openssl/tests/

this is how tests should be written.

Further explanations are available here: http://qa.php.net/

Thanks!

This will test all five new functions unless you would like one test case per function?

 [2011-12-14 19:40 UTC] jason dot gerfen at gmail dot com
One other question about using SPKAC's when creating a x509. It seems the current method using openssl_csr_new() which in turn calls the php_openssl_make_REQ() to assign the specified DN attributes has no method of adding the SPKAC field.

After digging around it seems logical to use the OBJ_create() and OBJ_* family of functions to add NID. Please forgive me if I am way off here but any direction you could point me in using the existing functions to output and sign a certificate similar to the following command?

openssl ca -config /path/to/openssl.conf -days 180 -notext -batch \
  -spkac /path/to/cert.pem -out /path/to/signed.pem -passin pass:'random'

My assumption is that I will need to create one specifically for this purpose but would like your insight.
 [2011-12-14 22:10 UTC] jason dot gerfen at gmail dot com
Please disregard my previous comment. I did a little more digging and am under the impression that adding the following to php_openssl_make_REQ() function should allow me to create a self signed certificate using the SPKAC NID like so?

if (strcmp(strindex, "SPKAC") == 0) {
 if (!X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(subj, strindex, MBSTRING_ASC, (unsigned char*)Z_STRVAL_PP(item), -1, -1, 0)){
  php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "dn: add_entry_by_txt %s -> %s (failed)", strindex, Z_STRVAL_PP(item));
  return FAILURE;
 }
}

Would you recommend another method? Please advise.
 [2011-12-21 10:49 UTC] jason dot gerfen at gmail dot com
Once again, please disregard the last message. After researching the documentation I found that where I had been using NULL with the openssl_csr_sign() function allows for a CA option as well as the SPKAC addition to the configargs optional array.

The patch was updated last night to include the 026.phpt test script, as well as the five new functions to work with the SPKI provided by keygen tags.

How do patch inclusions work besides posting them to the php internals list?
 [2012-01-10 10:38 UTC] jason dot gerfen at gmail dot com
I have added the requested test case and it is included in the patch
as 026.phpt. I have also performed the required testing against the
Openssl 0.9.8x and 1.0.0x. It is attached to the original bug report
#38917. In addition to attaching the proposed patch I have created a
github repo to make maintenance on the patch simple for myself. The
URL is https://github.com/jas-/SPKAC-PHP-OpenSSL.
 [2012-12-19 15:14 UTC] queenzeal at gmail dot com
If you want SPKAC support in PHP without having to recompile it, try the latest 
Git version of phpseclib (http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/). An example of how to 
use it:
