This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. x509util.CertificateRequest defines a CSR template containing embedded x509.CertificateRequest fields and ChallengePassword attribute
  2. x509util.CreateCertificateRequest generates DER-encoded PKCS#10 certificate request with challengePassword attribute
  3. x509.ParseCertificateRequest parses the resulting DER bytes and passes signature verification
  4. x509util.ParseChallengePassword extracts the challenge password string from DER-encoded CSR bytes
  5. x509util.CreateCertificateRequest generates a valid CSR with ECDSA keys and SHA256 signature algorithm
  6. x509util.ParseChallengePassword returns an empty string when the CSR has no challenge password attribute
  7. x509util.ParseChallengePassword returns an ASN.1 unmarshaling error when given malformed DER bytes
  8. x509util.CreateCertificateRequest returns an error when private key does not implement crypto.Signer

Clean-room public code sample — generation instructions

Write a brand-new, minimal, self-contained code sample in this clean-room directory.
Do not copy, paraphrase, or reference any existing project source. Work only from this spec.

A csx.json manifest scaffold already exists. Do not recreate it from memory. Preserve its case.goal, packages and symbols; fill its empty case.contract with exact assertions and correct its environment, commands and verifierAdapter for the files you generate.

Goal: verify github.com/smallstep/scep/x509util.CertificateRequest in pkg:golang/github.com/smallstep/scep@v0.0.0-20231024192529-aee96d7ad34d
Kind: HOW

Use EXACTLY these public packages and versions:
  - pkg:golang/github.com/smallstep/scep@v0.0.0-20231024192529-aee96d7ad34d
Demonstrate these symbols/APIs:
  - github.com/smallstep/scep/x509util.CertificateRequest

Rules:
  - One focused purpose; the smallest project that proves the goal.
  - Include a contract test (test/contract.*) that runs OFFLINE and exits 0 exactly when the goal behavior works.
  - Pin every dependency with a lockfile so resolution is reproducible.
  - No secrets, credentials, or tokens. No real URLs (only example.com or localhost). No absolute paths.
  - No personal names, emails, company names, or project identifiers of any kind.
  - No binaries and no generated output (node_modules, dist, target, venv, .git, .env).
  - Keep it under 200 files and 256KB packed.
