Package convex.core.data

Class SignedData<T extends ACell>

java.lang.Object

convex.core.data.AObject

convex.core.data.ACell

convex.core.data.SignedData<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the signed object

All Implemented Interfaces:

IValidated, IWriteable

public class SignedData<T extends ACell>
extends ACell

Node representing a signed data object. A signed data object encapsulates:

• An Address that identifies the signer
• A digital signature
• An underlying Cell that has been signed.

The SignedData instance is considered valid if the signature can be successfully validated for the given Address and data value, and if so can be taken as a cryptographic proof that the signature was created by someone in possession of the corresponding private key. Note we currently go via a Ref here for a few reasons: - It guarantees we have a hash for signing - It makes the SignedData object implementation/representation independent of the value type - It creates a possibility of structural sharing for transaction values excluding signatures Binary representation:

1. 1 byte - Tag.SIGNED_DATA tag
2. 32 bytes - Public Key of signer
3. 64 bytes - raw Signature data
4. 1+ bytes - Data Value Ref (may be embedded)

SECURITY: signing requires presence of a local keypair TODO: SECURITY: any persistence forces validation of Signature??

A new SignedData object

create

public static SignedData<ATransaction> create(AKeyPair kp,
 ASignature sig,
 Ref<ATransaction> ref)

getValue

public T getValue()

Gets the signed value object encapsulated by this SignedData object. Does not check Signature.

Public Key of signer.

getSignature

public ASignature getSignature()

Gets the Signature that formed part of this SignedData object

Returns:

Signature instance

encode

public int encode(byte[] bs,
 int pos)

Description copied from class: ACell

Writes this Cell's encoding to a byte array, including a tag byte which will be written first

Specified by:

encode in interface IWriteable

Specified by:

encode in class ACell

Parameters:

bs - A byte array to which to write the encoding

pos - The offset into the byte array

Returns:

New position after writing

encodeRaw

public int encodeRaw(byte[] bs,
 int pos)

Description copied from class: ACell

Writes this Cell's encoding to a byte array, excluding the tag byte

Specified by:

encodeRaw in class ACell

Parameters:

bs - A byte array to which to write the encoding

pos - The offset into the byte array

Returns:

New position after writing

estimatedEncodingSize

public int estimatedEncodingSize()

Description copied from interface: IWriteable

Estimate the encoded data size for this Cell. Used for quickly sizing buffers. Implementations should try to return a size that is likely to contain the entire object when represented in binary format, including the tag byte.

Returns:

The estimated size for the binary representation of this object.

read

public static <T extends ACell> SignedData<T> read(ByteBuffer data)
                                            throws BadFormatException

Reads a SignedData instance from the given ByteBuffer

Parameters:

data - A ByteBuffer containing

BadFormatException - If encoding is invalid

checkSignature

public boolean checkSignature()

Validates the signature in this SignedData instance. Caches result

Throws:

BadSignatureException

isCanonical

public boolean isCanonical()

Specified by:

isCanonical in class ACell

Returns:

true if the object is in canonical format, false otherwise

isCVMValue

public final boolean isCVMValue()

Description copied from class: ACell

Returns true if this object represents a first class CVM Value. Sub-structural cells that are not themselves first class values should return false. CVM values might not be in a canonical format, e.g. temporary data structures

Returns:

The Ref at the specified index

updateRefs

public SignedData<T> updateRefs(IRefFunction func)

Description copied from class: ACell

Updates all Refs in this object using the given function. The function *must not* change the hash value of Refs, in order to ensure structural integrity of modified data structures.

Overrides:

updateRefs in class ACell

Parameters:

func - Ref update function

Returns:

Cell with updated Refs

print

public void print(StringBuilder sb)

Description copied from class: AObject

Prints this Object to a readable String Representation

Specified by:

print in class AObject

Parameters:

sb - StringBuilder to append to

validate

public void validate()
              throws InvalidDataException

Description copied from interface: IValidated

Validates the complete structure of this object. It is necessary to ensure all child Refs are validated, so the general contract for validate is:

1. Call super.validate() - which will indirectly call validateCell()
2. Call validate() on any contained cells in this class

Specified by:

validate in interface IValidated

Overrides:

validate in class ACell

Throws:

InvalidDataException - If the data Valie is invalid in any way

validateCell

public void validateCell()

Specified by:

validateCell in class ACell

Throws:

InvalidDataException - If the Cell is invalid

getDataRef

public Ref<T> getDataRef()

isEmbedded in class ACell

Returns:

Always false

Specified by:

getTag in class ACell

Returns:

Tag byte for this Cell

toCanonical

public ACell toCanonical()

Description copied from class: ACell

Converts this Cell to its canonical version. Returns this if already canonical

Specified by:

toCanonical in class ACell

Returns:

Canonical version of Cell
