Detailed Description

Represents an NDN certificate.

Example of an NDN certificate name:

/edu/ucla/cs/yingdi/KEY/%03%CD...%F1/%9F%D3...%B7/v=1617592200702
\_________________/ \___________/\___________/\______________/
Identity Name KeyId IssuerId Version
\__________________________________/
Key Name
  • KeyId is an opaque name component to identify an instance of the public key for the certificate namespace. The value of KeyId is controlled by the namespace owner. The library includes helpers for generation of key IDs using 8-byte random number, SHA-256 digest of the public key, timestamp, or a specified numerical identifier.
  • IssuerId is an opaque name component to identify the issuer of the certificate. The value is controlled by the issuer. The library includes helpers to set issuer ID to a 8-byte random number, SHA-256 digest of the issuer's public key, or a specified numerical identifier.
  • Key Name is the logical name of the key used for management purposes. The key name includes the identity name, the keyword KEY, and the KeyId component.

encoderEncodingBuffer containing Name, MetaInfo, Content, and SignatureInfo, but without SignatureValue and the outermost Type-Length of the Data element.
signatureRaw signature bytes, without TLV Type and Length; this will become the TLV-VALUE of the SignatureValue element added to the packet.

This method is intended to be used in concert with wireEncode(encoder, true), e.g.:

Data data;
...
EncodingBuffer encoder;
data.wireEncode(encoder, true);
...
auto signature = create_signature_over_signed_portion(encoder.data(), encoder.size());
data.wireEncode(encoder, signature);
Data(const Name &name=Name())
Construct an unsigned Data packet with given name and empty Content.

bool  wantUnsignedPortionOnly = false 
) const
inherited

Prepend wire encoding to encoder.

Parameters
encoderEncodingEstimator or EncodingBuffer instance.
wantUnsignedPortionOnlyIf true, prepend only Name, MetaInfo, Content, and SignatureInfo to encoder, but omit SignatureValue and the outermost TLV Type and Length of the Data element. This is intended to be used with wireEncode(EncodingBuffer&, span<const uint8_t>) const.
