Member Function Documentation

◆ setInnerPolicy()

void ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicy::setInnerPolicy ( unique_ptr< ValidationPolicy innerPolicy)

Set inner policy.

Multiple assignments of the inner policy will create a "chain" of linked policies. The inner policy from the latest invocation of setInnerPolicy will be at the bottom of the policy list.

For example, sequence of this->setInnerPolicy(policy1) and this->setInnerPolicy(policy2), will result in this->m_innerPolicy == policy1, this->m_innerPolicy->m_innerPolicy == policy2', and this->m_innerPolicy->m_innerPolicy->m_innerPolicy == nullptr.

Exceptions
std::invalid_argumentexception, if innerPolicy is nullptr.

◆ hasInnerPolicy()

bool ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicy::hasInnerPolicy ( ) const
inline

Check if inner policy is set.

◆ getInnerPolicy()

ValidationPolicy & ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicy::getInnerPolicy ( )

Return the inner policy.

If the inner policy was not set, behavior is undefined.

◆ setValidator()

void ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicy::setValidator ( Validator validator)

Set validator to which the policy is associated.

Definition at line 55 of file validation-policy.cpp.

References m_innerPolicy.

◆ checkPolicy() [1/3]

virtual void ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicy::checkPolicy ( const Data data,
const shared_ptr< ValidationState > &  state,
const ValidationContinuation continueValidation 
)
pure virtual

Check data against the policy.

Depending on implementation of the policy, this check can be done synchronously or asynchronously.

Semantics of checkPolicy has changed from v1::Validator

  • If packet violates policy, the policy should call state->fail with appropriate error code and error description.
  • If packet conforms to the policy and no further certificate retrievals are necessary, the policy should call continueValidation(nullptr, state)
  • If packet conforms to the policy and a certificate needs to be fetched, the policy should call continueValidation(<appropriate-cert-request-instance>, state)

Implemented in ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicyCommandInterest, nfd::CommandAuthenticatorValidationPolicy, ndn::security::v2::validator_config::ValidationPolicyConfig, ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicyAcceptAll, and ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicySimpleHierarchy.

◆ checkPolicy() [2/3]

virtual void ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicy::checkPolicy ( const Interest interest,
const shared_ptr< ValidationState > &  state,
const ValidationContinuation continueValidation 
)
pure virtual

Check interest against the policy.

Depending on implementation of the policy, this check can be done synchronously or asynchronously.

◆ checkPolicy() [3/3]

virtual void ndn::security::v2::ValidationPolicy::checkPolicy ( const Certificate certificate,
const shared_ptr< ValidationState > &  state,
const ValidationContinuation continueValidation 
)
inlinevirtual

Check certificate against the policy.

Unless overridden by the policy, this check defaults to checkPolicy(const Data&, ...).

Depending on implementation of the policy, this check can be done synchronously or asynchronously.

  • If packet violates policy, the policy should call state->fail with appropriate error code and error description.
