=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<verify> command verifies certificate chains.
=over 4
+=item B<-help>
+
+Print out a usage message.
+
+=item B<-CAfile file>
+
+A B<file> of trusted certificates.
+The file should contain one or more certificates in PEM format.
+
=item B<-CApath directory>
A directory of trusted certificates. The certificates should have names
of the B<x509> utility). Under Unix the B<c_rehash> script will automatically
create symbolic links to a directory of certificates.
-=item B<-CAfile file>
+=item B<-no-CAfile>
-A file of trusted certificates. The file should contain multiple certificates
-in PEM format concatenated together.
+Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default file location
-=item B<-untrusted file>
+=item B<-no-CApath>
-A file of untrusted certificates. The file should contain multiple certificates
+Do not load the trusted CA certificates from the default directory location
-=item B<-purpose purpose>
+=item B<-attime timestamp>
-the intended use for the certificate. Without this option no chain verification
-will be done. Currently accepted uses are B<sslclient>, B<sslserver>,
-B<nssslserver>, B<smimesign>, B<smimeencrypt>. See the B<VERIFY OPERATION>
-section for more information.
+Perform validation checks using time specified by B<timestamp> and not
+current system time. B<timestamp> is the number of seconds since
+01.01.1970 (UNIX time).
-=item B<-help>
+=item B<-check_ss_sig>
-prints out a usage message.
+Verify the signature on the self-signed root CA. This is disabled by default
+because it doesn't add any security.
-=item B<-verbose>
+=item B<-CRLfile file>
-print extra information about the operations being performed.
+The B<file> should contain one or more CRLs in PEM format.
+This option can be specified more than once to include CRLs from multiple
+B<files>.
-=item B<-issuer_checks>
+=item B<-crl_download>
-print out diagnostics relating to searches for the issuer certificate
-of the current certificate. This shows why each candidate issuer
-certificate was rejected. However the presence of rejection messages
-does not itself imply that anything is wrong: during the normal
-verify process several rejections may take place.
+Attempt to download CRL information for this certificate.
-=item B<-policy arg>
+=item B<-crl_check>
-Enable policy processing and add B<arg> to the user-initial-policy-set
-(see RFC3280 et al). The policy B<arg> can be an object name an OID in numeric
-form. This argument can appear more than once.
+Checks end entity certificate validity by attempting to look up a valid CRL.
+If a valid CRL cannot be found an error occurs.
-=item B<-policy_check>
+=item B<-crl_check_all>
-Enables certificate policy processing.
+Checks the validity of B<all> certificates in the chain by attempting
+to look up valid CRLs.
+
+=item B<-engine id>
+
+Specifying an engine B<id> will cause L<verify(1)> to attempt to load the
+specified engine.
+The engine will then be set as the default for all its supported algorithms.
+If you want to load certificates or CRLs that require engine support via any of
+the B<-trusted>, B<-untrusted> or B<-CRLfile> options, the B<-engine> option
+must be specified before those options.
=item B<-explicit_policy>
-Set policy variable require-explicit-policy (see RFC3280 et al).
+Set policy variable require-explicit-policy (see RFC5280).
+
+=item B<-extended_crl>
+
+Enable extended CRL features such as indirect CRLs and alternate CRL
+signing keys.
+
+=item B<-ignore_critical>
+
+Normally if an unhandled critical extension is present which is not
+supported by OpenSSL the certificate is rejected (as required by RFC5280).
+If this option is set critical extensions are ignored.
=item B<-inhibit_any>
-Set policy variable inhibit-any-policy (see RFC3280 et al).
+Set policy variable inhibit-any-policy (see RFC5280).

-Set policy variable inhibit-policy-mapping (see RFC3280 et al).
+Set policy variable inhibit-policy-mapping (see RFC5280).
+
+=item B<-no_check_time>
+
+This option suppresses checking the validity period of certificates and CRLs
+against the current time. If option B<-attime timestamp> is used to specify
+a verification time, the check is not suppressed.
+
+=item B<-partial_chain>
+
+Allow verification to succeed even if a I<complete> chain cannot be built to a
+self-signed trust-anchor, provided it is possible to construct a chain to a
+trusted certificate that might not be self-signed.
+
+=item B<-policy arg>
+
+Enable policy processing and add B<arg> to the user-initial-policy-set (see
+RFC5280). The policy B<arg> can be an object name an OID in numeric form.
+This argument can appear more than once.

-Checks end entity certificate validity by attempting to lookup a valid CRL.
-If a valid CRL cannot be found an error occurs.
+The intended use for the certificate. If this option is not specified,
+B<verify> will not consider certificate purpose during chain verification.
+Currently accepted uses are B<sslclient>, B<sslserver>, B<nssslserver>,
+B<smimesign>, B<smimeencrypt>. See the B<VERIFY OPERATION> section for more
+information.
-=item B<-crl_check_all>
+=item B<-suiteB_128_only>, B<-suiteB_128>, B<-suiteB_192>
-Checks the validity of B<all> certificates in the chain by attempting
-to lookup valid CRLs.
+enable the Suite B mode operation at 128 bit Level of Security, 128 bit or
+192 bit, or only 192 bit Level of Security respectively.
+See RFC6460 for details. In particular the supported signature algorithms are
+reduced to support only ECDSA and SHA256 or SHA384 and only the elliptic curves
+P-256 and P-384.
-=item B<-ignore_critical>
+=item B<-trusted_first>
-Normally if an unhandled critical extension is present which is not
-supported by OpenSSL the certificate is rejected (as required by
-RFC3280 et al). If this option is set critical extensions are
-ignored.
+When constructing the certificate chain, use the trusted certificates specified
+via B<-CAfile>, B<-CApath> or B<-trusted> before any certificates specified via
+B<-untrusted>.
+This can be useful in environments with Bridge or Cross-Certified CAs.
+As of OpenSSL 1.1.0 this option is on by default and cannot be disabled.
-=item B<-x509_strict>
+=item B<-no_alt_chains>
-Disable workarounds for broken certificates which have to be disabled
-for strict X.509 compliance.
+By default, unless B<-trusted_first> is specified, when building a certificate
+chain, if the first certificate chain found is not trusted, then OpenSSL will
+attempt to replace untrusted issuer certificates with certificates from the
+trust store to see if an alternative chain can be found that is trusted.
+As of OpenSSL 1.1.0, with B<-trusted_first> always on, this option has no
+effect.
-=item B<-extended_crl>
+=item B<-untrusted file>
-Enable extended CRL features such as indirect CRLs and alternate CRL
-signing keys.
+A B<file> of additional untrusted certificates (intermediate issuer CAs) used
+to construct a certificate chain from the subject certificate to a trust-anchor.
+The B<file> should contain one or more certificates in PEM format.
+This option can be specified more than once to include untrusted certiificates
+from multiple B<files>.
+
+=item B<-trusted file>
+
+A B<file> of trusted certificates, which must be self-signed, unless the
+B<-partial_chain> option is specified.
+The B<file> contain one or more certificates in PEM format.
+With this option, no additional (e.g., default) certificate lists are
+consulted.
+That is, the only trust-anchors are those listed in B<file>.
+This option can be specified more than once to include trusted certificates
+from multiple B<files>.
+This option implies the B<-no-CAfile> and B<-no-CApath> options.
+This option cannot be used in combination with either of the B<-CAfile> or
+B<-CApath> options.
=item B<-use_deltas>
Enable support for delta CRLs.
-=item B<-check_ss_sig>
+=item B<-verbose>
-Verify the signature on the self-signed root CA. This is disabled by default
-because it doesn't add any security.
+Print extra information about the operations being performed.
+
+=item B<-auth_level level>
+
+Set the certificate chain authentication security level to B<level>.
+The authentication security level determines the acceptable signature and
+public key strength when verifying certificate chains.
+For a certificate chain to validate, the public keys of all the certificates
+must meet the specified security B<level>.
+The signature algorithm security level is enforced for all the certificates in
+the chain except for the chain's I<trust anchor>, which is either directly
+trusted or validated by means other than its signature.
+See L<SSL_CTX_set_security_level(3)> for the definitions of the available
+levels.
+The default security level is -1, or "not set".
+At security level 0 or lower all algorithms are acceptable.
+Security level 1 requires at least 80-bit-equivalent security and is broadly
+interoperable, though it will, for example, reject MD5 signatures or RSA keys
+shorter than 1024 bits.
+
+=item B<-verify_depth num>
+
+Limit the certificate chain to B<num> intermediate CA certificates.
+A maximal depth chain can have up to B<num+2> certificates, since neither the
+end-entity certificate nor the trust-anchor certificate count against the
+B<-verify_depth> limit.
+
+=item B<-verify_email email>
+
+Verify if the B<email> matches the email address in Subject Alternative Name or
+the email in the subject Distinguished Name.
+
+=item B<-verify_hostname hostname>
+
+Verify if the B<hostname> matches DNS name in Subject Alternative Name or
+Common Name in the subject certificate.
+
+=item B<-verify_ip ip>
+
+Verify if the B<ip> matches the IP address in Subject Alternative Name of
+the subject certificate.
+
+=item B<-verify_name name>
+
+Use default verification policies like trust model and required certificate
+policies identified by B<name>.
+The trust model determines which auxiliary trust or reject OIDs are applicable
+to verifying the given certificate chain.
+See the B<-addtrust> and B<-addreject> options of the L<x509(1)> command-line
+utility.
+Supported policy names include: B<default>, B<pkcs7>, B<smime_sign>,
+B<ssl_client>, B<ssl_server>.
+These mimics the combinations of purpose and trust settings used in SSL, CMS
+and S/MIME.
+As of OpenSSL 1.1.0, the trust model is inferred from the purpose when not
+specified, so the B<-verify_name> options are functionally equivalent to the
+corresponding B<-purpose> settings.
+
+=item B<-x509_strict>
+
+For strict X.509 compliance, disable non-compliant workarounds for broken
+certificates.
+
+=item B<-show_chain>
+
+Display information about the certificate chain that has been built (if
+successful). Certificates in the chain that came from the untrusted list will be
+flagged as "untrusted".

The verify operation consists of a number of separate steps.
Firstly a certificate chain is built up starting from the supplied certificate
-and ending in the root CA. It is an error if the whole chain cannot be built
-up. The chain is built up by looking up the issuers certificate of the current
-certificate. If a certificate is found which is its own issuer it is assumed
-to be the root CA.
-
-The process of 'looking up the issuers certificate' itself involves a number
-of steps. In versions of OpenSSL before 0.9.5a the first certificate whose
-subject name matched the issuer of the current certificate was assumed to be
-the issuers certificate. In OpenSSL 0.9.6 and later all certificates
-whose subject name matches the issuer name of the current certificate are
-subject to further tests. The relevant authority key identifier components
-of the current certificate (if present) must match the subject key identifier
-(if present) and issuer and serial number of the candidate issuer, in addition
-the keyUsage extension of the candidate issuer (if present) must permit
-certificate signing.

is found the remaining lookups are from the trusted certificates. The root CA

the B<CERTIFICATE EXTENSIONS> section of the B<x509> utility.
-The third operation is to check the trust settings on the root CA. The root
-CA should be trusted for the supplied purpose. For compatibility with previous
-versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL a certificate with no trust settings is considered
-to be valid for all purposes.

-Although the issuer checks are a considerably improvement over the old technique they still
+Although the issuer checks are a considerable improvement over the old technique they still
suffer from limitations in the underlying X509_LOOKUP API. One consequence of this is that
trusted certificates with matching subject name must either appear in a file (as specified by the
-B<-CAfile> option) or a directory (as specified by B<-CApath>. If they occur in both then only
+B<-CAfile> option) or a directory (as specified by B<-CApath>). If they occur in both then only
the certificates in the file will be recognised.
Previous versions of OpenSSL assume certificates with matching subject name are identical and
Previous versions of this documentation swapped the meaning of the
