Detailed Description

Interface class for providing keys to the library.

The XSEC library does not perform actual mapping of KeyInfo elements to encryption keys. (In some cases a KeyInfo might not even be provided).

This interface class allows the application to perform this key mapping and provision function. Applications can perform whatever steps are necessary to determine the appropriate key and what trust level it might have.

Member Function Documentation

virtual XSECKeyInfoResolver* XSECKeyInfoResolver::clone (  void   )  const [pure virtual]

Clone the resolver to be installed in a new object. When KeyInfoResolvers are passed into signatures and other objects, they are cloned and control of the original object is left with the caller. Implemented in XSECKeyInfoResolverDefault.

virtual XSECCryptoKey* XSECKeyInfoResolver::resolveKey (  DSIGKeyInfoList *  lst  )  [pure virtual]

Provide a key to the library. The library will pass the KeyInfoList to the resolver which then needs to provide a key back to the library. The key may have absolutely no relationship to the KeyInfoList (which is only supposed to provide a hint). If no KeyInfo elements were provided in the Signature, NULL will be passed in. Parameters: lst  The list of KeyInfo elements from the signature Returns: Either the appropriate key or NULL if none can be found Implemented in XSECKeyInfoResolverDefault.
