Member Function Documentation

virtual auto_ptr<ByteArray> openikev2::Certificate::signData

(

ByteArray &

data

)

[pure virtual]

Signs data using the internal private key (if available).

Parameters:

data

Data to be signed

Returns:

ByteArray containing the signature

virtual bool openikev2::Certificate::verifyData	(	ByteArray &	data,
		ByteArray &	signature
	)			[pure virtual]

Verifies the signature of the data using the public key.

Parameters:

	data	Signed data
	signature	Signature of the data to be verified

Returns:

TRUE if signature is valid. FALSE otherwise

virtual Enums::AUTH_METHOD openikev2::Certificate::getAuthMethod

(

)

[pure virtual]

Return the AUTH:METHOD that must be included in the Payload_AUTH when this certificate is used to generate the signature (Usually RSA or DSS).

Returns:

The authentication method

virtual auto_ptr<Certificate> openikev2::Certificate::clone

(

)

[pure virtual]

Clones the certificate.

Returns:

A new identical certificate object

virtual void openikev2::Certificate::getBinaryRepresentation

(

ByteBuffer &

byte_buffer

)

[pure virtual]

Appends the binary representation of the certificate in the ByteStrean.

Parameters:

byte_buffer

ByteBuffer to append the binary representation

virtual string openikev2::Certificate::toStringTab

(

uint8_t

tabs

)

const [pure virtual]

Construct a textual representation of the object, preceded of a num of tabs of size TAB_SIZE.

Parameters:

tabs

Num of tabs preceding the textual representation.

Returns:

Textual tabulated represetation of the object.

Implements openikev2::Printable.
