Detailed Description

Validation state.

One instance of the validation state is kept for the validation of the whole certificate chain.

The state collects the certificate chain that adheres to the selected validation policy to validate data or interest packets. Certificate, data, and interest packet signatures are verified only after the validator determines that the chain terminates with a trusted certificate (a trusted anchor or a previously validated certificate). This model allows filtering out invalid certificate chains without incurring (costly) cryptographic signature verification overhead and mitigates some forms of denial-of-service attacks.

Validation policy and/or key fetcher may add custom information associated with the validation state using tags (

bool ndn::security::v2::ValidationState::hasSeenCertificateName ( const Name certName)

Check if certName has been previously seen and record the supplied name.

void ndn::security::v2::ValidationState::addCertificate ( const Certificate cert)

Add cert to the top of the certificate chain.

If m_certificateChain is empty, cert should be the signer of the original packet. If m_certificateChain is not empty, cert should be the signer of m_certificateChain.front().

Postcondition
m_certificateChain.front() == cert
Note
This function does not verify the signature bits.
