Detailed Description

An ndn_Signature struct holds the signature bits and other info representing the signature in a data packet or signed interest.

We use one structure which is a union of all the fields from the different known signature types. This lets us avoid the infrastructure to simulate an abstract base class with subclasses and virtual methods.

Member Data Documentation

struct ndn_Blob ndn_Signature::digestAlgorithm

A Blob whose value is a pointer to a pre-allocated buffer.

0 for none. If none, default is 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1 (sha-256).

struct ndn_PublisherPublicKeyDigest ndn_Signature::publisherPublicKeyDigest

Deprecated:

.

The Signature publisherPublicKeyDigest is deprecated. If you need a publisher public key digest, set the keyLocator keyLocatorType to KEY_LOCATOR_DIGEST and set its key data to the digest.

struct ndn_Blob ndn_Signature::witness

A Blob whose value is a pointer to pre-allocated buffer.

0 for none.
