Not yet released; provisionally v1.2.0 (may change).
The CTFE now includes a Cache-Control header in responses containing purely immutable data, e.g. those for get-entries and get-proof-by-hash. This allows clients and proxies to cache these responses for up to 24 hours.
Calls to get-entries which are at (or above) the maximum permitted number of
entries whose start parameter does not fall on a multiple of the maximum
permitted number of entries, will have their responses truncated such that
subsequent requests will align with this boundary.
This is intended to coerce callers of get-entries into all using the same
start and end parameters and thereby increase the cachability of
these requests.
e.g.:
Old behaviour:
1 2 3
0 0 0
Entries>-----|---------|---------|----...
Client A -------|---------|----------|...
Client B --|--------|---------|-------...
^ ^ ^
`--------`---------`---- requests
With coercion (max batch = 10 entries):
1 2 3
0 0 0
Entries>-----|---------|---------|----...
Client A ----X---------|---------|...
Client B --|-X---------|---------|-------...
^
`-- Requests truncated
This behaviour can be disabled by setting the --align_getentries
flag to false.
The ct_server binary changed the default of these flags:
by_range- Now defaults totrue
The ct_server binary added the following flags:
align_getentries- See GetEntries section above for details
Merged upstream Go 1.13 changes.
Added VerifySCTWithVerifier() to verify SCTs using a given ct.SignatureVerifier.
Configuration files that previously had to be text-encoded Protobuf messages can now alternatively be binary-encoded instead.
PostAndParseWithRetryerror logging now includes log URI in messages.
Published 2019-11-14 15:00:00 +0000 UTC
The reject_expired and reject_unexpired configuration fields for the CTFE
have been changed so that their behaviour reflects their name:
reject_expiredonly rejects expired certificates (i.e. it now allows not-yet-valid certificates).reject_unexpiredonly allows expired certificates (i.e. it now rejects not-yet-valid certificates).
A reject_extensions configuration field for the CTFE was added, this allows
submissions to be rejected if they contain an extension with any of the
specified OIDs.
A frozen_sth configuration field for the CTFE was added. This STH will be
served permanently. It must be signed by the log's private key.
A /healthz URL has been added which responds with HTTP 200 OK and the string
"ok" when the server is up.
The ct_server binary has these new flags:
mask_internal_errors- Removes error strings from HTTP 500 responses (Internal Server Error)
Removed default values for --metrics_endpoint and --log_rpc_server flags.
This makes it easier to get the documented "unset" behaviour.
The CTFE exports these new metrics:
is_mirror- set to 1 for mirror logs (copies of logs hosted elsewhere)frozen_sth_timestamp- time of the frozen Signed Tree Head in milliseconds since the epoch
Updated prometheus-to-sd to v0.5.2.
A dedicated node pool is no longer required by the Kubernetes manifests.
A new package has been created for parsing, searching and creating JSON log
lists compatible with the
v2 schema:
github.com/google/certificate-transparency-go/loglist2.
Our Docker images have been updated to use Go 1.11 and Distroless base images.
The CTFE Docker image now sets ENTRYPOINT.
The jsonclient package now copes with empty HTTP responses. The user-agent
header it sends can now be specified.
Merged upstream changes from Go 1.12 into the asn1 and x509 packages.
Added a "lax" tag to asn1 that applies recursively and makes some checks more
relaxed:
- parsePrintableString() copes with invalid PrintableString contents, e.g. use of tagPrintableString when the string data is really ISO8859-1.
- checkInteger() allows integers that are not minimally encoded (and so are not correct DER).
- OIDs are allowed to be empty.
The following x509 functions will now return x509.NonFatalErrors if ASN.1
parsing fails in strict mode but succeeds in lax mode. Previously, they only
attempted strict mode parsing.
x509.ParseTBSCertificate()x509.ParseCertificate()x509.ParseCertificates()
The x509 package will now treat a negative RSA modulus as a non-fatal error.
The x509 package now supports RSASES-OAEP and Ed25519 keys.
The ctclient tool now defaults to using
all_logs_list.json
instead of log_list.json.
This can be overridden using the --log_list flag.
It can now perform inclusion checks on pre-certificates.
It has these new commands:
bisect- Finds a log entry given a timestamp.
It has these new flags:
--chain- Displays the entire certificate chain--dns_server- The DNS server to direct queries to (system resolver by default)--skip_https_verify- Skips verification of the HTTPS connection--timestamp- Timestamp to use forbisectandinclusioncommands (forinclusion, only if --leaf_hash is not used)
It now accepts hex or base64-encoded strings for the --tree_hash,
--prev_hash and --leaf_hash flags.
The certcheck tool has these new flags:
--check_time- Check current validity of certificate (replaces--timecheck)--check_name- Check validity of certificate name--check_eku- Check validity of EKU nesting--check_path_len- Check validity of path length constraint--check_name_constraint- Check name constraints--check_unknown_critical_exts- Check for unknown critical extensions (replaces--ignore_unknown_critical_exts)--strict- Set non-zero exit code for non-fatal errors in parsing
The sctcheck tool has these new flags:
--check_inclusion- Checks that the SCT was honoured (i.e. the corresponding certificate was included in the issuing CT log)
The ct_hammer tool has these new flags:
--duplicate_chance- Allows setting the probability of the hammer sending a duplicate submission.
Published 2018-08-20 10:11:04 +0000 UTC
CTFE no longer prints certificate chains as long byte strings in messages when handler errors occur. This was obscuring the reason for the failure and wasn't particularly useful.
CTFE now has a global log URL path prefix flag and a configuration proto for a log specific path. The latter should help for various migration strategies if existing C++ server logs are going to be converted to run on the new code.
More progress has been made on log mirroring. We believe that it's now at the point where testing can begin.
The certcheck and ct_hammer utilities have received more enhancements.
x509 and x509util now support Subject Information Access and additional extensions for RPKI / RFC 3779.
scanner / fixchain and some other command line utilities now have better handling of non-fatal errors.

Enhancements have been made to various utilities including scanner, sctcheck, loglist and x509util.
The allow_verification_with_non_compliant_keys flag has been removed from signatures.go.
An implementation of Gossip has been added. See the gossip/minimal package for more information.
An X.509 compatibility issue for Go 1.11 has been fixed. This should be backwards compatible with 1.10.

The RequestLog API allows for logging of SCTs when they are issued by CTFE.

Now uses Merkle Tree verification from Trillian.
The CT server now supports CORS.
Request tracing added using OpenCensus. For GCE / K8 it just requires the flag to be enabled to export traces to Stackdriver. Other environments may differ.
A demo script was added that goes through setting up a simple deployment suitable for development / demo purposes. This may be useful for those new to the project.

Support for SQLlite was removed. This motivation was ongoing test flakiness caused by multi-user access. This database may work for an embedded scenario but is not suitable for use in a server environment.
A LeafHashForLeaf client API was added and is now used by the CT client and integration tests.
