Detailed Description

A frontend handle of an Identity.

Identity is at the top level in PIB's Identity-Key-Certificate hierarchy. An identity has a Name, and contains zero or more keys, at most one of which is set as the default key of this identity. Properties of a key can be accessed after obtaining a Key object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Identity() [1/2]

ndn::security::pib::Identity::Identity ( )

default

Default Constructor.

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

Identity id; try { id = pib.getIdentity(...); } catch (const Pib::Error&) { ... }

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

Identity() [2/2]

ndn::security::pib::Identity::Identity ( weak_ptr< detail::IdentityImpl >  impl )

explicit

Create an Identity with a backend implementation impl.

This method should only be used by IdentityContainer.
