Detailed Description

Interface for validating data and interest packets.

Every time a validation process initiated, it creates a ValidationState that exist until validation finishes with either success or failure. This state serves several purposes:

record Interest or Data packet being validated
record failure callback
record certificates in the certification chain for the Interest or Data packet being validated
record names of the requested certificates to detect loops in the certificate chain
keep track of the validation chain size (aka validation "depth")

During validation, policy and/or key fetcher can augment validation state with policy- and fetcher-specific information using ndn::Tag's.

A validator has a trust anchor cache to save static and dynamic trust anchors, a verified certificate cache for saving certificates that are already verified and an unverified certificate cache for saving prefetched but not yet verified certificates.

Todo:

Limit the maximum time the validation process is allowed to run before declaring failure

Ability to customize maximum lifetime for trusted and untrusted certificate caches. Current implementation hard-codes them to be 1 hour and 5 minutes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Validator()

ndn::security::v2::Validator::Validator	(	unique_ptr< ValidationPolicy >	policy,
		unique_ptr< CertificateFetcher >	certFetcher
	)

Validator constructor.

Parameters

policy	Validation policy to be associated with the validator
certFetcher	Certificate fetcher implementation.

Definition at line 37 of file validator.cpp.

◆ ~Validator()

ndn::security::v2::Validator::~Validator ( )

◆ getPolicy()

ValidationPolicy & ndn::security::v2::Validator::getPolicy ( )

Definition at line 51 of file validator.cpp.

◆ getFetcher()

CertificateFetcher & ndn::security::v2::Validator::getFetcher ( )

Definition at line 57 of file validator.cpp.

◆ setMaxDepth()

void ndn::security::v2::Validator::setMaxDepth ( size_t depth )

Set the maximum depth of the certificate chain.

Definition at line 63 of file validator.cpp.

◆ getMaxDepth()

size_t ndn::security::v2::Validator::getMaxDepth ( ) const

Returns: The maximum depth of the certificate chain

Definition at line 69 of file validator.cpp.

◆ validate() [1/2]

void ndn::security::v2::Validator::validate	(	const Data &	data,
		const DataValidationSuccessCallback &	successCb,
		const DataValidationFailureCallback &	failureCb
	)

Asynchronously validate data.

Note: successCb and failureCb must not be nullptr

Definition at line 75 of file validator.cpp.

References NDN_LOG_DEBUG_DEPTH.

◆ validate() [2/2]

void ndn::security::v2::Validator::validate	(	const Interest &	interest,
		const InterestValidationSuccessCallback &	successCb,
		const InterestValidationFailureCallback &	failureCb
	)

Asynchronously validate interest.

Note: successCb and failureCb must not be nullptr

Definition at line 95 of file validator.cpp.

References NDN_LOG_DEBUG_DEPTH.

◆ loadAnchor() [1/2]

void ndn::security::v2::Validator::loadAnchor	(	const std::string &	groupId,
		Certificate &&	cert
	)

load static trust anchor.

Static trust anchors are permanently associated with the validator and never expire.

Parameters

groupId	Certificate group id.
cert	Certificate to load as a trust anchor.

Definition at line 185 of file validator.cpp.

References ndn::security::v2::CertificateStorage::loadAnchor().

◆ loadAnchor() [2/2]

void ndn::security::v2::Validator::loadAnchor	(	const std::string &	groupId,
		const std::string &	certfilePath,
		time::nanoseconds	refreshPeriod,
		bool	isDir = `false`
	)

load dynamic trust anchors.

Dynamic trust anchors are associated with the validator for as long as the underlying trust anchor file (set of files) exist(s).

Parameters

groupId	Certificate group id, must not be empty.
certfilePath	Specifies the path to load the trust anchors.
refreshPeriod	Refresh period for the trust anchors, must be positive.
isDir	Tells whether the path is a directory or a single file.

Definition at line 191 of file validator.cpp.

References ndn::security::v2::CertificateStorage::loadAnchor().

◆ resetAnchors()

void ndn::security::v2::Validator::resetAnchors ( )

remove any previously loaded static or dynamic trust anchor

Definition at line 198 of file validator.cpp.

References ndn::security::v2::CertificateStorage::resetAnchors().

◆ cacheVerifiedCertificate()

void ndn::security::v2::Validator::cacheVerifiedCertificate ( Certificate && cert )

Cache verified cert a period of time (1 hour)

Todo:: Add ability to customize time period

Definition at line 204 of file validator.cpp.

References ndn::security::v2::CertificateStorage::cacheVerifiedCert().

◆ resetVerifiedCertificates()

void ndn::security::v2::Validator::resetVerifiedCertificates ( )

Remove any cached verified certificates.
