Detailed Description

A frontend handle of a key instance.

Key is at the second level in PIB's Identity-Key-Certificate hierarchy. A Key has a Name (identity + "KEY" + keyId), and contains one or more certificates, one of which is set as the default certificate of this key. A certificate can be directly accessed from a Key object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ndn::security::pib::Key::Key ( )

default

Default Constructor.

Key created using this default constructor is just a place holder. It can obtain an actual instance from Identity::getKey(...). A typical usage would be for exception handling:

Key key; try { key = identity.getKey(...); } catch (const Pib::Error&) { ... }

A Key instance created using this constructor is invalid. Calling a member method on an invalid Key instance may cause an std::domain_error.

ndn::security::pib::Key::Key ( weak_ptr< detail::KeyImpl >  impl )

explicit

Create a Key with a backend implementation impl.

This method should only be used by KeyContainer.
