Description

X509CertificateUtil:

  • Extended certificate builder, so it is possible to copy subject DN raw value from CSR to certificate
  • Extended certificate builder, so subject public key info of CSR can be used to create SPKI of certificate
  • Extendend X509CertificateUtil to be able to create CSR with crypto2 keys

Type of Change

  • bug fix - change which fixes an issue
  • new feature - change which adds functionality

Checklist

  • code cleanup and self-review
  • unit + e2e test coverage
  • documentation updated accordingly

Breaking

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added CSR and certificate signing support using modern cryptographic keys with explicitly selected signature algorithms.
    • Added support for raw subject distinguished names and subject public-key information when creating certificates.
    • Certificate creation can now reuse subject details from a CSR.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Added validation to prevent incompatible keys and signature algorithms from being used together.
    • Improved handling of certificate subjects and optional extension requests.
  • Deprecations
    • Existing legacy-key signing methods remain available but are now deprecated.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for creating and validating CSR-based certificate chains.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The X.509 library adds crypto2 key and explicit algorithm support for CSR and certificate signing. Builders now support raw subject DNs and SPKI values. Bouncy Castle and Signum share CSR construction paths. Tests cover CSR-backed leaf certificates.

Changes

X.509 signing flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Builder subject and SPKI contracts
waltid-libraries/crypto/waltid-x509/src/commonMain/kotlin/id/walt/certificate/x509/builder/X509CertificateDataBuilder.kt
The builder accepts text or raw subject DNs. Subject updates clear the alternate representation. The builder accepts existing SPKI values and exposes defaultValidity().
Signing API and algorithm validation
waltid-libraries/crypto/waltid-x509/src/commonMain/kotlin/id/walt/certificate/x509/Pkcs10CertificateSigningRequestSigner.kt, waltid-libraries/crypto/waltid-x509/src/commonMain/kotlin/id/walt/certificate/x509/X509CertificateUtil.kt
CSR signing accepts crypto2 keys and explicit algorithms. The utility validates key and algorithm compatibility. Certificate creation accepts either a matching key or SPKI and rejects the other key type.
Platform CSR signing
waltid-libraries/crypto/waltid-x509/src/jvmBouncyMain/kotlin/id/walt/certificate/x509/bouncycastle/BouncyPkcs10CertificateSigningRequestSigner.kt, waltid-libraries/crypto/waltid-x509/src/signumMain/kotlin/id/walt/certificate/x509/signum/SignumCertificateSigner.kt
Bouncy Castle and Signum implement crypto2 CSR signing. Both use shared CSR structure construction. Extension-request attributes are added only when extensions exist.
Certificate subject-key handling and validation
waltid-libraries/crypto/waltid-x509/src/jvmBouncyMain/kotlin/id/walt/certificate/x509/bouncycastle/BouncyX509CertificateSigner.kt, waltid-libraries/crypto/waltid-x509/src/signumMain/kotlin/id/walt/certificate/x509/signum/SignumCertificateSigner.kt, waltid-libraries/crypto/waltid-x509/src/commonTest/kotlin/id/walt/certificate/x509/X509CertificateSigningTest.kt
Certificate signers resolve text or raw subjects and support supplied SPKI values. The test creates a leaf certificate from a CSR and validates its subject, public key, and PEM chain.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 94bd5

Certificate creation from a CSR can fail for Bouncy-backed callers when the CSR’s public-key information is copied into the certificate, causing the new feature to be unusable in that path. The signer should support the supplied public-key information before this change is merged.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Support SPKI in the Bouncy crypto2 certificate signer.

These checks allow subjectPublicKey(spki) for createCertificate(Key, ..., SignatureAlgorithm). BouncyX509CertificateSigner.signCertificate(Key, ...) still calls checkNotNull(subjectKeyBuilder.key). A Bouncy-backed caller that copies a CSR SPKI therefore fails with IllegalStateException.

Update the Bouncy crypto2 branch to use subjectKeyBuilder.spki when it is set, as the crypto1 branch already does.
