X509_check_issued - checks if certificate is apparently issued by another certificate

Description

X509_check_issued() checks if certificate subject was apparently issued using (CA) certificate issuer.
       This function takes into account not only matching of the issuer field of subject with the subject field
       of issuer, but also compares all sub-fields of the authorityKeyIdentifier extension of subject, as far as
       present, with the respective subjectKeyIdentifier, serial number, and issuer fields of issuer, as far as
       present. It also checks if the keyUsage field (if present) of issuer allows certificate signing.  It does
       not actually check the certificate signature. An error is returned if the issuer or the subject are
       incomplete certificates.

Name

       X509_check_issued - checks if certificate is apparently issued by another certificate

Return Values

       indicate an error.
