Constructor & Destructor Documentation

§ Validator() [1/2]

ndn::Validator::Validator ( Face face = nullptr)
explicit

Validator constructor.

Parameters
facePointer to face through which validator may retrieve certificates. Passing a null pointer implies the validator is in offline mode.
Note
Make sure the lifetime of the passed Face is longer than validator.

trigger before validating requested certificate.

The Data:

  • matches the interest in the validation-request.
  • may be certificate or a data encapsulating certificate.

This method returns a data (actually certificate) that is will be passed as Data into: Validator::validate(const Data& data, const OnDataValidated& onValidated, const OnDataValidationFailed& onValidationFailed, int nSteps);

trigger when interest for certificate times out.

Validator can decide how to handle the timeout, either call onFailure, or retry.

Parameters
interestThe interest that times out.
nRemainingRetriesThe number of retries left.
onFailureFailure callback when there is no more retries remaining.
validationRequestThe validationRequest containing the context of the interest.

trigger after checkPolicy is done.

Validator can decide how to handle the set of validation requests according to the trust model.

Parameters
nextStepsA set of validation request made by checkPolicy.
onFailureFailure callback when errors happen in processing nextSteps.
