      • getAuthType

        public abstract byte[] getAuthType()
        Get the identifier for the type of authentication performed. This authentication type needs to be the same type as the handle value that the user's handle/id refers to.

      • authenticate

        public abstract byte[] authenticate​(ChallengeResponse challenge,
                                    AbstractRequest request)
                             throws HandleException
        Sign the given nonce and requestDigest given as a challenge to the given request. The implementation of this method should also probably verify that the client did in fact send the specified request, and that the associated digest is a valid digest of the request.
        Returns:
        a signature of the concatenation of nonce and requestDigest.
        Throws:
        HandleException

      • getUserIdHandle

        public abstract byte[] getUserIdHandle()
        Get the name of the handle that identifies the user that is represented by this authentication object.

      • getUserIdIndex

        public abstract int getUserIdIndex()
        Get the index of the handle value that identifies this user. The returned index value of the handle that identifies this user should contain a value with a type (public key, secret key, etc) that corresponds to the way that this user is authenticating.

      • getUserValueReference

        public ValueReference getUserValueReference()
        Get the ValueReference that identifies the user that is represented by this authentication object.
