Detailed Description

The interface of signing key management.

The KeyChain class provides an interface to manage entities related to packet signing, such as Identity, Key, and Certificates. It consists of two parts: a private key module (TPM) and a public key information base (PIB). Managing signing key and its related entities through KeyChain interface guarantees the consistency between TPM and PIB.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ KeyChain() [1/2]

ndn::security::v2::KeyChain::KeyChain ( )

Constructor to create KeyChain with default PIB and TPM.

Default PIB and TPM are platform-dependent and can be overriden system-wide or individually for the user.

See also: manpage ndn-client.conf

Todo:: Add detailed description about config file behavior here

Definition at line 158 of file key-chain.cpp.

◆ KeyChain() [2/2]

ndn::security::v2::KeyChain::KeyChain	(	const std::string &	pibLocator,
		const std::string &	tpmLocator,
		bool	allowReset = `false`
	)

KeyChain constructor.

See also: manpage ndn-client.conf

Parameters

pibLocator	PIB locator, e.g., `pib-sqlite3:/example/dir`
tpmLocator	TPM locator, e.g., `tpm-memory:`
allowReset	if true, the PIB will be reset when the supplied `tpmLocator` does not match the one in the PIB

◆ createIdentity()

Identity ndn::security::v2::KeyChain::createIdentity	(	const Name &	identityName,
		const KeyParams &	params = `getDefaultKeyParams()`
	)

Create an identity identityName.

This method will check if the identity exists in PIB and whether the identity has a default key and default certificate. If the identity does not exist, this method will create the identity in PIB. If the identity's default key does not exist, this method will create a key pair and set it as the identity's default key. If the key's default certificate is missing, this method will create a self-signed certificate for the key.

If identityName did not exist and no default identity was selected before, the created identity will be set as the default identity

Parameters

identityName	The name of the identity.
params	The key parameters if a key needs to be created for the identity (default: EC key with random key id)

Returns: The created Identity instance.

◆ addCertificate()

void ndn::security::v2::KeyChain::addCertificate	(	const Key &	key,
		const Certificate &	certificate
	)

◆ sign() [1/3]

void ndn::security::v2::KeyChain::sign	(	Data &	data,
		const SigningInfo &	params = `getDefaultSigningInfo()`
	)

Sign data according to the supplied signing information.

This method uses the supplied signing information params to create the SignatureInfo block:

it selects a private key and its certificate to sign the packet
sets the KeyLocator field with the certificate name, and
adds other requested information to the SignatureInfo block.

After that, the method assigns the created SignatureInfo to the data packets, generate a signature and sets as part of the SignatureValue block.

Note: The exception throwing semantics has changed from v1::KeyChain. If the requested identity/key/certificate does not exist, it will not be created and exception will be thrown.

Parameters

data	The data to sign
params	The signing parameters.

Exceptions

Error	signing fails
InvalidSigningInfoError	invalid `params` is specified or specified identity, key, or certificate does not exist

◆ sign() [2/3]

void ndn::security::v2::KeyChain::sign	(	Interest &	interest,
		const SigningInfo &	params = `getDefaultSigningInfo()`
	)

Sign interest according to the supplied signing information.

This method uses the supplied signing information params to create the SignatureInfo block:

it selects a private key and its certificate to sign the packet
sets the KeyLocator field with the certificate name, and
adds other requested information to the SignatureInfo block.

After that, the method appends the created SignatureInfo to the interest name, generate a signature and appends it as part of the SignatureValue block to the interest name.

Note: The exception throwing semantics has changed from v1::KeyChain. If the requested identity/key/certificate does not exist, it will not be created and exception will be thrown.

Parameters

interest	The interest to sign
params	The signing parameters.

Exceptions

Error	signing fails
InvalidSigningInfoError	invalid `params` is specified or specified identity, key, or certificate does not exist
