}Methods
impl Certificate
fn generate_random(meta: Meta, expires: DateTime<UTC>) -> Certificate
This method generates a random public/private keypair and a certificate for it.
fn get_meta_mut(&mut self) -> &mut Meta
This method returns a mutable reference to the meta structure.
fn get_meta(&self) -> &Meta
This method returns a reference to the meta structure.
fn get_public_key(&self) -> &Vec<u8>
This method returns a reference to the public key.
fn get_private_key<'a>(&'a self) -> Option<&'a Vec<u8>>
This method returns the private key, if it is known, or None if the certificate has been initialized without the private key.
fn has_private_key(&self) -> bool
This method returns true, if the private key is saved in the certificate.
fn get_expires(&self) -> &str
This method returns the expiration date as a RFC 3339 string.
fn set_private_key(&mut self, private_key: Vec<u8>)
This method replaces the current private key of this certificate with the given one.
fn is_expired(&self) -> bool
This method checks, if this certificates expiration date is now or in the past.
fn safehash(&self) -> [u8; CERTIFICATE_BYTE_LEN]
This method returns a "hash". This is used to validate the certificate. All relevant information of the certificate is used to produce the hash, including the public key, meta data and the expiration date.
fn get_parent(&self) -> Option<&Certificate>
This method returns the parent certificate of this certificate, if it exists.
fn is_signed(&self) -> bool
This method returns true, if a signature exists (is not None). This doesn't validate the signature.
fn sign(&self, data: &[u8]) -> Option<Vec<u8>>
This method signs the given data and returns the signature.
fn sign_with_master(&mut self, master_private_key: &[u8])
This method signs this certificate with the given private master key.
fn sign_certificate(&self, other: &mut Certificate) -> Result<(), &'static str>
This method signs another certificate with the private key of this certificate.
fn is_valid(&self, master_pk: &[u8]) -> Result<(), &'static str>
This method verifies that this certificate is valid by analyzing the trust chain.
fn verify(&self, data: &[u8], signature: &[u8]) -> bool
This method verifies that the given signature is valid for the given data.
fn is_revoked(&self, revokeserver: &str) -> Result<(), &'static str>
fn from_json(compressed: &[u8]) -> Result<Certificate, &'static str>
takes a json-encoded byte vector and tries to create a certificate from it.
fn to_json(&self) -> Vec<u8>
Converts this certificate in a json-encoded byte vector.
fn save(&self, folder: &str)
Saves this certificate into a folder: one file for the certificate and one file for the private key.
fn load_from_file(filename: &str) -> Result<Certificate, &'static str>
This method loads a certificate from a file.
fn load_private_key(&mut self, filename: &str) -> Result<(), &'static str>
This method reads a private key from a file and sets it in this certificate.
