Submodules

pyndn.security.certificate.certificate module

class pyndn.security.certificate.certificate.Certificate(other=None)

Bases: pyndn.data.Data

addExtension(ext)

Add an extension field to the certificate. :param ext: Th CertificateExtension object to add

addSubjectDescription(descr)

Add a subject description field to the certificate. :param descr: The CertificateSubjectDescription object to add

decode()

Populates the fields by decoding DER data from the Content.

encode()

Encode the contents of the certificate in DER format and set the Content and MetaInfo fields.

epochStart = datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0)

getExtensionList()

Returns:The extension fields of the certificate. Return type:list of CertificateExtension

getExtensions()

Deprecated :Use getExtensionList.

getNotAfter()

Returns the latest date the certificate is valid at. :return: Timestamp as milliseconds since 1970. :rtype: float

getNotBefore()

Returns the earliest date the certificate is valid at. :return: Timestamp as milliseconds since 1970. :rtype: float

getPublicKeyInfo()

Returns:The PublicKey object stored in the certificate. Return type:PublicKey

getSubjectDescriptions()

Returns:The subject description fields of the certificate. Return type:list of CertificateSubjectDescription

isTooEarly()

Check if the certificate start date is in the future :return: True if the certificate cannot be used yet :rtype: boolean

isTooLate()

Check if the certificate end date is in the past :return: True if the certificate has expired :rtype: boolean

setNotAfter(notAfter)

setNotBefore(notBefore)

setPublicKeyInfo(publicKey)

Assign a new public key to the certificate. :param publicKey: The new public key :type publicKey: PublicKey

toDer()

Encode the certificate fields in DER format. :return: The DER encoded contents of the certificate. :rtype: DerNode

wireDecode(buf, wireFormat=None)

Make sure the fields are populated after decoding

class pyndn.security.certificate.certificate.CertificateExtension(oid, isCritical, value)

getIsCritical()

Returns:Whether the extension is critical to the certificate Return type:boolean

getOid()

Returns:The object identifier of the subject description field. Return type:OID

getValue()

Returns:The value of the extension field Return type:Blob

isCritical()

Deprecated :Use getIsCritical.

toDer()

Encode this field as a DerNode. :return: Encoded certificate extension :rtype: DerSequence

class pyndn.security.certificate.certificate.CertificateSubjectDescription(oid, value)

getOid()

Returns:The object identifier of the subject description field. Return type:OID

getValue()

Returns:The value of the subject description field. Return type:Blob

toDer()

Encode this field as a DerNode. :return: Encoded subject description :rtype: DerSequence

pyndn.security.certificate.identity_certificate module

class pyndn.security.certificate.identity_certificate.IdentityCertificate(data=None)

Bases: pyndn.security.certificate.certificate.Certificate

static certificateNameToPublicKeyName(certificateName)

Extract the name of a public key from the name of an identity certificate. :param Name certificateName: The certificate name.

getPublicKeyName()

Returns:The name of the public key associated with this certificate Return type:Name

setName(name)

Overrides Data.setName() to ensure that the new name is a valid identity certificate name. :param name: The new name for this IdentityCertificate :type name: Name

wireDecode(buf, wireFormat=None)

Data.wireDecode does not call setName, so we must make sure to update our public key name

pyndn.security.certificate.public_key module

This module defines the PublicKey class which holds an encoded public key for use by the security library.

class pyndn.security.certificate.public_key.PublicKey(keyDer=None)

Bases: object

Create a new PublicKey by decoding the keyDer. Set the key type from the decoding.

Parameters:keyDer (Blob) – The blob of the PublicKeyInfo in terms of DER. Raises :UnrecognizedKeyFormatException if can’t decode the key DER.

EC_ENCRYPTION_OID = '1.2.840.10045.2.1'

RSA_ENCRYPTION_OID = '1.2.840.113549.1.1.1'

getDigest(digestAlgorithm=1)

Get the digest of the public key.

Parameters:digestAlgorithm (int from DigestAlgorithm) – (optional) The digest algorithm. If omitted, use DigestAlgorithm.SHA256 . Returns:The digest value Return type:Blob

getKeyDer()

Get the raw bytes of the public key in DER format.

Returns:The public key DER Return type:Blob

getKeyType()

Get the key type.

Returns:The key type Return type:an int from KeyType

toDer()

Encode the public key into DER.

Returns:The encoded DER syntax tree. Return type:DerNode
