twisted.internet._sslverify.PublicKey

class documentation

class PublicKey: (source)

Known subclasses: twisted.internet.ssl.KeyPair

Constructor: PublicKey(osslpkey)

A PublicKey is a representation of the public part of a key pair.

You can't do a whole lot with it aside from comparing it to other PublicKey objects.

Note
If constructing a `PublicKey` manually, be sure to pass only a `OpenSSL.crypto.PKey` that does not contain a private key!

Method	`__init__`	No summary
Method	`__repr__`	Undocumented
Method	`inspect`	Undocumented
Method	`keyHash`	Compute a hash of the underlying PKey object.
Method	`matches`	Does this `PublicKey` contain the same value as another `PublicKey`?
Instance Variable	`original`	The original private key.

def __init__(self, osslpkey): (source) ¶

Parameters
osslpkey:`OpenSSL.crypto.PKey`	The underlying pyOpenSSL key object.

def __repr__(self) -> str: (source) ¶

Undocumented

def inspect(self): (source) ¶

overridden in twisted.internet.ssl.KeyPair

Undocumented

def keyHash(self): (source) ¶

Compute a hash of the underlying PKey object.

The purpose of this method is to allow you to determine if two certificates share the same public key; it is not really useful for anything else.

In versions of Twisted prior to 15.0, keyHash used a technique involving certificate requests for computing the hash that was not stable in the face of changes to the underlying OpenSSL library.

Returns
native `str`	Return a 32-character hexadecimal string uniquely identifying this public key, for this version of Twisted.

def matches(self, otherKey): (source) ¶

Does this PublicKey contain the same value as another PublicKey?

Parameters
otherKey:`PublicKey`	The key to compare `self` to.
Returns
`bool`	`True` if these keys match, `False` if not.

original = (source) ¶

The original private key.
