pub enum RemoteIdentity<C> {
    Unknown,
    StaticDhKey(PublicKey<C>),
    IdentityKey(PublicKey),
}
Expand description

The identity of the remote established during a handshake.

Variants

Unknown

The remote provided no identifying information.

The identity of the remote is unknown and must be obtained through a different, out-of-band channel.

StaticDhKey(PublicKey<C>)

The remote provided a static DH public key.

The static DH public key is authentic in the sense that a successful handshake implies that the remote possesses a corresponding secret key.

Note: To rule out active attacks like a MITM, trust in the public key must still be established, e.g. by comparing the key against an expected or otherwise known public key.

IdentityKey(PublicKey)

The remote provided a public identity key in addition to a static DH public key and the latter is authentic w.r.t. the former.

Note: To rule out active attacks like a MITM, trust in the public key must still be established, e.g. by comparing the key against an expected or otherwise known public key.
