## Detailed Description

Wraps keys and related functionality.

Shared credential implementations should implement reference counting and honor any locking parameters to ensure appropriate synchronization.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ getAlgorithm()

virtual const char * xmltooling::Credential::getAlgorithm | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns an algorithm identifier for the Credential.

Returns
  the Credential algorithm, or nullptr if indeterminate

Implemented in xmltooling::BasicX509Credential.

## ◆ getCredentialContext()

virtual const CredentialContext * xmltooling::Credential::getCredentialContext | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Get the credential context information, which provides additional information specific to the context in which the credential was resolved.

Returns
  resolution context of the credential

## ◆ getKeyInfo()

virtual xmlsignature::KeyInfo * xmltooling::Credential::getKeyInfo | ( | bool | compact = false | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns a ds:KeyInfo object representing the Credential for use in communicating with other entities.

Parameters

  compact | true iff the communication medium is such that only compact forms should be included

Returns
  a KeyInfo object, which must be freed by the caller

Implemented in xmltooling::BasicX509Credential.

## ◆ getKeyNames()

virtual const std::set< std::string > & xmltooling::Credential::getKeyNames | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns names representing the Credential.

Names should be unique in the context of the comparisons against CredentialCriteria that deployments expect to see.

Returns
  a sorted set of names

Implemented in xmltooling::BasicX509Credential.

## ◆ getKeySize()

virtual unsigned int xmltooling::Credential::getKeySize | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns the size of the key in bits.

Returns
  the key size, or 0 if indeterminate

Implemented in xmltooling::BasicX509Credential.

## ◆ getPrivateKey()

virtual const XSECCryptoKey * xmltooling::Credential::getPrivateKey | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns a secret or private key to use for signing or decryption operations.

Returns
  a secret or private key

Implemented in xmltooling::BasicX509Credential.

## ◆ getPublicKey()

virtual const XSECCryptoKey * xmltooling::Credential::getPublicKey | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns a secret or public key to use for verification or encryption operations.

Returns
  a secret or public key

Implemented in xmltooling::BasicX509Credential.

## ◆ getUsage()

virtual unsigned int xmltooling::Credential::getUsage | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Get credential usage types.

Returns
  the usage bitmask

Implemented in xmltooling::BasicX509Credential.
