Until now, the crypto key abstraction used two different type: PublicKey
and PrivateKey. Unfortunately, it does not work with ring and should
therefore be rewrote with a single type: KeyPair.
Since it is planned to add a "standalone" feature that will replace
OpenSSL by crates not linking to any external library, it is required to
abstract all the OpenSSL specific types. This is a huge work and
therefore is divided in several steps. This first one is dedicated to
public and private keys.
rel #2
The previous system was too limited when it comes to flexibility using
hooks. This limitation came from the false idea that, for a given
certificate, all challenges must be validated with the same method. In
order to prove that false, domains in a certificate can now make use of
any challenge type available.
In order to be more flexible, hooks are now given a type and are defined
in the same registry (instead of 6). Each one will be called when
considered relevant based on its type.
AlpnError::ALERT_FATAL has been added in OpenSSL 1.1.0, hence build will
fail on any previous version. This commit allows older versions to fall
back to AlpnError::NOACK instead.
ACMEd should and will remain as simple as possible and let the user
alone take care of the challenge validation. However, this philosophy
does not forbid the project itself to distribute additional tools that
are designed to improve the user experience. Because the TLS-ALPN
ecosystem is currently very slim, adding tacd is really benefic to
ACMEd.
