Function verifyAndExchangePersonId

  • verifyAndExchangePersonId(leute, conn, localPersonId, initiatedLocally, matchRemotePersonId?, skipLocalKeyCompare?): Promise<{
        isNew: boolean;
        personId: SHA256IdHash<Person>;
        personPublicKey: PublicKey;
    }>

  • This process exchanges and verifies person keys.

    The verification checks the following:

    • Does the peer have the private key to the corresponding public key
    • Does the peer use the same key as the last time (key lookup in storage) -> skipped if skipLocalKeyCompare is true
    • Does the person id communicated by the peer match the expected person id -> Only checked if matchRemotePersonId is specified

    Parameters

    • leute: default
    • conn: default

      The connection used to exchange this data

    • localPersonId: SHA256IdHash<Person>

      The local person id (used for getting keys)

    • initiatedLocally: boolean
    • OptionalmatchRemotePersonId: SHA256IdHash<Person>

      It is verified that the transmitted person id matches this one.

    • OptionalskipLocalKeyCompare: boolean

      Skips the comparision of local keys. Defaults to false. Use with care!

    Returns Promise<{
        isNew: boolean;
        personId: SHA256IdHash<Person>;
        personPublicKey: PublicKey;
    }>
