Member Enumeration Documentation

enum KNS::Security::Results

Enumerator:
MD5_OK 
SIGNED_OK  The MD5 sum check is OK.
SIGNED_BAD  The file is signed with a good signature.
TRUSTED  The file is signed with a bad signature.
UNKNOWN  The signature is trusted.
SIGNED_BAD_CLEAR  The key is unknown.
BAD_PASSPHRASE  used to clear the SIGNED_BAD flag

Member Function Documentation

void Security::checkValidity ( const QString &  fileName  ) 

Verifies the integrity and the signature of a tarball file.

Parameters:
fileName the file to be verified. It should be a tar.gz (.tgz) file. The directory where the file is should contain a "signature" and a "md5sum" file, otherwise verification will fail. The method is asynchronous and the result is signalled with validityResult.

Definition at line 199 of file security.cpp.

void KNS::Security::fileSigned ( int  result  )  [signal]

Sent when the signing is done.

Returns:
the result of the operation. See Results

void Security::readKeys (  )  [slot]

Reads the available public keys.

Definition at line 49 of file security.cpp.

void Security::readSecretKeys (  )  [slot]

Reads the available secret keys.

Definition at line 68 of file security.cpp.

static Security* const KNS::Security::ref (  )  [inline, static]

Definition at line 48 of file security.h.

KeyStruct KNS::Security::signatureKey (  )  [inline]

Get the key used for signing.

This method is valid only if:

  • the checkValidity was called
  • the result of the validity check does not have the UNKNOWN bit set

Returns:
the key used for signing the file

Definition at line 77 of file security.h.

void Security::signFile ( const QString &  fileName  ) 

Creates a signature and an md5sum file for the fileName and packs everything into a gzipped tarball.

Parameters:
fileName the file with full path to sign
The method is asynchronous and the result is signalled with fileSigned.

Definition at line 263 of file security.cpp.

void Security::slotCheckValidity (  )  [slot]

Verifies the integrity and the signature of a tarball file (see m_fileName).

Definition at line 205 of file security.cpp.

void Security::slotSignFile (  )  [slot]

Creates a signature and an md5sum file for the m_fileName and packs everything into a gzipped tarball.

Definition at line 269 of file security.cpp.

void KNS::Security::validityResult ( int  result  )  [signal]

Sent when the validity check is done.

Returns:
the result of the check. See Results
