Expand description
Parsing implementation for Tor authority certificates
An “authority certificate” is a short signed document that binds a directory authority’s permanent “identity key” to its medium-term “signing key”. Using separate keys here enables the authorities to keep their identity keys securely offline, while using the signing keys to sign votes and consensuses.
Structs
AuthCert | A single authority certificate. |
AuthCertKeyIds | A pair of key identities that identifies a certificate. |
UncheckedAuthCert | An authority certificate whose signature and validity time we haven’t checked. |
