Detailed Description

This class is used to demonstrate access rights.

The current version of this class is empty, and will always be accepted. It is designed to provide an interface for a mechanism such as SDSI or KeyNote.

Deprecated:

The public key stored in a Credentials object can be used to verify the signature on a client message. If the signature on the public key is valid for the specified Policy on the data to be accessed, this establishes that the client is authorized to access the data.

Member Function Documentation

int Credentials::marshal (  unsigned char **    pp )  const [virtual]

This function creates a serialized representation of the object, which is returned through the argument pp. This must be overridden by the concrete derived class. Parameters: pp  Serialized form of the object Returns: Length of the marshalled data Implements CODEX_ASN1::Base. Definition at line 106 of file Credentials.cc. References CODEX_Ciphers::RSAPublicKey::marshal(). Referenced by CODEX_Client::Interface::codex_issue_credentials(), CODEX_Client::WriteKeyMsg::marshal(), and CODEX_Client::ReadKeyMsg::marshal().

void * Credentials::unmarshal (  void *    bogus, unsigned char **    pp, long    length )  [virtual]

This function takes a serialized representation of the object and recreates the object representation. This must be overridden by the concrete derived class. Parameters: bogus  Included for compatibility with OpenSSL ASN.1 macros pp  Serialized form of the data length  Number of bytes of pp to unmarshal Returns: success or failure of the unmarshalling Implements CODEX_ASN1::Base. Definition at line 119 of file Credentials.cc. References CODEX_ASN1::Base::m_initialized, and CODEX_Ciphers::RSAPublicKey::unmarshal(). Referenced by CODEX_Client::Interface::codex_read_key(), CODEX_Client::Interface::codex_write_key(), CODEX_Client::WriteKeyMsg::unmarshal(), and CODEX_Client::ReadKeyMsg::unmarshal().
