MUT-BC-SS-01

MUT-BC-SS-01: Mutation Testing of X.509 BasicConstraints in OpenSSL Overview This repository implements a specification-driven mutation testing experiment targeting X.509 certificate validation behavior in OpenSSL. The experiment is based on the mutation operator: MUT-BC-SS-01 which modifies the...

Go, OpenSSL, Apple, LibreSSL, pyca, wolfSSL Name-Constraint Inconsistency in RFC 5280 Implementation

Overview This note covers differences in how TLS libraries interpret X.509 Name Constraints. A certificate that one library accepts may be rejected by another. Some of those differences are defects; others follow from behavior that RFC 5280 does not fully specify. Description The observed...
