Description

During conversion system_clock::TimePoint to boost::posix_time (for formatting purposes), there is a silent variable overflow when TimePoint is large. It doesn't even work 100 years from now:

Here is the test snippet

  system_clock::TimePoint value = fromUnixTimestamp(milliseconds(1390966967032LL));
  BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(toIsoString(value), "20140129T034247.032000");

  value += days(365 * 100 + 25 - 1); // 36524 days
  BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(toIsoString(value), "21140129T034247.032000");

Expected:

../tests/unit-tests/util/time.t.cpp:88: info: check toIsoString(value) == "20140129T034247.032000" has passed
../tests/unit-tests/util/time.t.cpp:91: info: check toIsoString(value) == "21140129T034247.032000" has passed

Actual:

../tests/unit-tests/util/time.t.cpp:88: info: check toIsoString(value) == "20140129T034247.032000" has passed
../tests/unit-tests/util/time.t.cpp:91: error: in "Util/TestTime/LargeDates": check toIsoString(value) == "21140129T034247.032000" has failed [19771222T211431.032000 != 21140129T034247.032000]

As a result of this, there is an issue with v2::KeyChain self-signing certificate generation: it's validity period was expected to be set to 1000 years from now(), but was set to a time point in the past.

I plan to fix only issue in v2::KeyChain, keeping this issue as a reminder of the problem. We probably should fix implementation of toIsoString by avoiding conversion to posix_time, but it is not critical.

https://gerrit.named-data.net/3570 is merely a workaround in v2::KeyChain, not a solution of this bug. Thus returning to New state.

The overflow occurs when boost::posix_time::from_time_t constructs seconds.
https://gerrit.named-data.net/3820 emulates boost::posix_time::from_time_t but constructs boost::posix_time::time_duration with separate hour and microsecond/nanosecond arguments, and neither would overflow in 489967 years.

The ndns test failure is actually a ndn-cxx problem. ndnsec cert-dump -p is showing the same, and cert.getNotAfter() returns -2147483648000000000 nanoseconds since Jan 1, 1970.

Regenerating tests/unit/mgmt/.ndn does not help.
Given this problem is within ndn::security::v1::IdentityCertificate which is deprecated, I won't further investigate.

ndn::security::v1::IdentityCertificate is gone.

Even though v1 security is gone, the same issue applies to v2 as well. We use exactly the same mechanism in ValidityPeriod.

Problem with ValidityPeriod is split to #4315. It is not caused by time::toIsoString that is already covered by test cases, so this issue is closed.

Older version of boost still have this issue (at least combination of boost 1.58/Ubuntu 16.04).
