I didn't add support for DH or DSA certs because its untestable until #10747 lands, we don't have any of those kind of certs in our fixtures.

I am actually not sure how this aligns with my proposal for key objects... IMO it would make more sense to expose properties of the key via a key object, not using the certificate, but on the other hand, I am not sure whether we should expose those fields at all.

I think it aligns fine with key objects. The key info in the cert is already present, but mostly for debugging. I don't think that has much to do with the keyObjects you are working on. It would be possible to add a keyObject property to the cert object, but the overhead might not make sense for TLS. It could be optional.

More interestingly, I notice your keyObjects don't allow access to any of the key properties, so a key object isn't a replacement for how the cert objects expose the public key material. Perhaps that is deliberate - key material might not be present if the key is on hardware? Even if the key isn't exposed, it seems to me that the key size, and the ec curve/nist name are all properties that would be useful.

If you are considering exposing some information about the asym keys (alg, size, curve, etc) from keyObjects, then it would make sense that the property names you use are aligned with the property names used in cert objects.

Is that something you see a place for? You could do it later, but it would be good if you at least liked the names used here so that using the same names won't cause any pain.

I know this already got merged, I'm commenting here because I'm working on boringssl integration in Electron and wanted to ask some questions :)

+      CHECK_NULL(pub);
+    }
+
+    if (EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag(group) != 0) {


I think this check for asn1_flag is unnecessary? It should be enough to just check nid != 0—if the curve has a name, nid will be non-zero, and if it doesn't, nid will be zero. No need to also check the asn1_flag, right?

(The reason I'm asking is because EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag doesn't exist in BoringSSL and I'm working on BoringSSL integration downstream in Electron.)

The code was directly copied from

node/deps/openssl/openssl/crypto/ec/eck_prn.c

Lines 97 to 119 in 9dfbc39

if (EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag(x)) {

/* the curve parameter are given by an asn1 OID */

int nid;

const char *nname;

if (!BIO_indent(bp, off, 128))

goto err;

nid = EC_GROUP_get_curve_name(x);

if (nid == 0)

goto err;

if (BIO_printf(bp, "ASN1 OID: %s", OBJ_nid2sn(nid)) <= 0)

goto err;

if (BIO_printf(bp, "\n") <= 0)

goto err;

nname = EC_curve_nid2nist(nid);

if (nname) {

if (!BIO_indent(bp, off, 128))

goto err;

if (BIO_printf(bp, "NIST CURVE: %s\n", nname) <= 0)

goto err;

}

} else {

but reading through the docs, yes, I suppose just trying to get the nid would work. I'll update this.

see: #25345

Merge these two conditionals?
