Types

type ID

type ID [sha256.Size]byte

ID is a unique identifier for each peer.

func NewID

func NewID(key ed25519.PublicKey) ID

NewID computes the ID corresponding to the given public key.

func ParseID

func ParseID(s string) (ID, error)

ParseID parses a hex encoded ID.

func RandomID

func RandomID() (id ID, err error)

RandomID creates a random id which can for example be used in unit tests.

func (ID) Bytes

func (id ID) Bytes() []byte

Bytes returns the byte slice representation of the ID

func (ID) String

func (id ID) String() string

String returns a shortened version of the ID as a base58 encoded string.

type Identity

type Identity struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

LocalIdentity is a node's identity.

func GenerateIdentity

func GenerateIdentity() *Identity

func New

func New(publicKey ed25519.PublicKey) *Identity

New creates a new identity from the given PublicKey.

func Parse

func Parse(marshalUtil *marshalutil.MarshalUtil, optionalTargetObject ...*Identity) (result *Identity, err error)

func (Identity) ID

func (i Identity) ID() ID

func (Identity) PublicKey

func (i Identity) PublicKey() ed25519.PublicKey

type LocalIdentity

type LocalIdentity struct {
	*Identity
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

LocalIdentity is a local node's identity.

func GenerateLocalIdentity

func GenerateLocalIdentity() *LocalIdentity

func NewLocalIdentity

func NewLocalIdentity(publicKey ed25519.PublicKey, privateKey ed25519.PrivateKey) *LocalIdentity

NewLocalIdentity creates a new LocalIdentity.

func NewLocalIdentityWithIdentity

func NewLocalIdentityWithIdentity(identity *Identity, privateKey ed25519.PrivateKey) *LocalIdentity

NewLocalIdentityWithIdentity creates a new LocalIdentity with a given LocalIdentity.

func (LocalIdentity) Sign

func (l LocalIdentity) Sign(message []byte) ed25519.Signature

Sign signs the message with the local identity's private key and returns a signature.
