g4ds.securitymanager.PersonalCredentialManager

Package g4ds :: Module securitymanager :: Class PersonalCredentialManager

[show private | hide private]

Class PersonalCredentialManager

Maintains the list of personal confidentials for this node.

Unlike the CredentialManager, which stores information for all nodes only including public information, this class maintains also private information; namely private keys. It is only responible for credentials for this node. However, this node has to maintain a credential for each algorithm (RSA; DSA).

Method Summary
	`__init__(self, loadFromDatabase)` Initialises the manager with the subjacent database.
	`__str__(self)` Some basic information about the object
	`addPersonalCredential(self, credential, persistent)` Add one personal credential to the manager.
	`getPersonalCredential(self, credentialId)` Returns the personal credential instance for the given credential id.
`List` of `Personal Credential`	`getPersonalCredentials(self)` Returns a list of all saved personal credentials.

Instance Variable Summary
`Dict` (`String` \| `Credential`)	`_credentials`: Dictionary, maintaining the credentials - accessable by its id
`Boolean`	`_dbconnected`: Indicates, whether the manager is connected to a database; hence whether the changes shall be written through
`securitymanager_db.SecDB`	`_sec_db`: Security Database Connector
