Subject: [PATCH 00/21] crypto: support multiple parallel certificate identities
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 14:47:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030144805.2239954-1-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
This series aims to improve the support for post-quantum cryptography
in TLS connections by allowing multiple sets of certificates to be
loaded. The idea is that during a transition period servers will have
a traditional RSA based certificate in parallel with an MLDSA based
certificate for PQC, and the right one will be dynamically determined
during the TLS handshake.
The first 12 patches are trivial cleanups.
The next 3 patches fix a potential use-after-free problem
The last patches introduce support for multiple certificates.
NB, in terms of testing this will require either CentOS Stream 10,
or Fedora 43. Most other distros will not support PQC out of the
box at this time even if they have new enough gnutls, since they
don't make use of the crypto-policies package which is needed to
enable PQC by default.
Daniel P. Berrangé (21):
crypto: remove redundant parameter checking CA certs
crypto: add missing free of certs array
crypto: replace stat() with access() for credential checks
crypto: remove redundant access() checks before loading certs
crypto: move check for TLS creds 'dir' property
crypto: use g_autofree when loading x509 credentials
crypto: remove needless indirection via parent_obj field
crypto: move release of DH parameters into TLS creds parent
crypto: shorten the endpoint == server check in TLS creds
crypto: remove duplication loading x509 CA cert
crypto: reduce duplication in handling TLS priority strings
crypto: introduce method for reloading TLS creds
crypto: introduce a wrapper around gnutls credentials
crypto: fix lifecycle handling of gnutls credentials objects
crypto: make TLS credentials structs private
crypto: deprecate use of external dh-params.pem file
crypto: avoid loading the CA certs twice
crypto: avoid loading the identity certs twice
crypto: expand logic to cope with multiple certificate identities
crypto: support upto 5 parallel certificate identities
docs: creation of x509 certs compliant with post-quantum crypto
