Identity interface defining operations associated to a "certificate". That is, the public part of the identity could be thought to be a certificate, and offers solely signature verification capabilities. This is to be used at the peer side when verifying certificates that transactions are signed with, and verifying signatures that correspond to these certificates.///
type Identity interface {
// Validate uses the rules that govern this identity to validate it.
Validate() error
// SatisfiesPrincipal checks whether this instance matches
// the description supplied in MSPPrincipal. The check may
// involve a byte-by-byte comparison (if the principal is
// a serialized identity) or may require MSP validation
SatisfiesPrincipal(principal *msp.MSPPrincipal) error
// Verify a signature over some message using this identity as reference
Verify(msg []byte, sig []byte) error
// GetIdentityIdentifier returns the identifier of that identity
GetIdentityIdentifier() *IdentityIdentifier
// GetMSPIdentifier returns the MSP Id for this instance
GetMSPIdentifier() string
}
IdentityDeserializer converts serialized identities to identities.
type IdentityDeserializer interface {
validation.Dependency
// DeserializeIdentity deserializes an identity.
// Deserialization will fail if the identity is associated to
// an msp that is different from this one that is performing
// the deserialization.
DeserializeIdentity(serializedIdentity []byte) (Identity, error)
}
IdentityIdentifier is a holder for the identifier of a specific identity, naturally namespaced, by its provider identifier.
type IdentityIdentifier struct {
// The identifier of the associated membership service provider
Mspid string
// The identifier for an identity within a provider
Id string
}
