Libtrust is library for managing authentication and authorization using public key cryptography.
|
|
|
|
Authentication is handled using the identity attached to the public key.
|
|
Libtrust provides multiple methods to prove possession of the private key associated with an identity.
|
|
- TLS x509 certificates
|
|
- Signature verification
|
|
- Key Challenge
|
|
|
|
Authorization and access control is managed through a distributed trust graph.
|
|
Trust servers are used as the authorities of the trust graph and allow caching portions of the graph for faster access.
