Types

type Signer

type Signer interface {
	ucan.Signer
	Code() uint64
	Verifier() Verifier
	Encode() []byte
	// Raw encodes the bytes of the private key without multiformats tags.
	Raw() []byte
}

Signer is the principal that can issue UCANs (and sign payloads). While it's primary role is to sign payloads it also provides a `Verifier` interface so it can be used for verifying signed payloads as well.

type Verifier

type Verifier interface {
	ucan.Verifier
	Code() uint64
	Encode() []byte
	// Raw encodes the bytes of the public key without multiformats tags.
	Raw() []byte
}

Verifier is the principal that issued a UCAN. In usually represents remote principal and is used to verify that certain payloads were signed by it.
