Enum libp2p::noise::RemoteIdentity
source · pub enum RemoteIdentity<C> {
Unknown,
StaticDhKey(PublicKey<C>),
IdentityKey(PublicKey),
}
Expand description
The identity of the remote established during a handshake.
Variants§
Unknown
The remote provided no identifying information.
The identity of the remote is unknown and must be obtained through a different, out-of-band channel.
StaticDhKey(PublicKey<C>)
The remote provided a static DH public key.
The static DH public key is authentic in the sense that a successful handshake implies that the remote possesses a corresponding secret key.
Note: To rule out active attacks like a MITM, trust in the public key must still be established, e.g. by comparing the key against an expected or otherwise known public key.
IdentityKey(PublicKey)
The remote provided a public identity key in addition to a static DH public key and the latter is authentic w.r.t. the former.
Note: To rule out active attacks like a MITM, trust in the public key must still be established, e.g. by comparing the key against an expected or otherwise known public key.
