[Nfd-dev] Signature verification by the consumer

[Thompson, Jeff]

Usually, the client uses a Validator in the NDN library which fetches the public key certificate of the producer using the key name in the data packet. Can you say more about how your application is set up?

Here is a self-contained example which makes a Data packet, then validates it using a Validator that is pre-loaded with the signer’s public key.

Subject: [Nfd-dev] Signature verification by the consumer

Hello,

I’m new to NFD and NDN. I wonder,  are there any examples of code, where consumer:

1) Extracts the public key of the producer;

2) Verifies the signature of the data packet using that public key?

Thank you very much.


Sincerely,
