ExternalCryptoKeyID Property
The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.
Syntax
__property String ExternalCryptoKeyID = { read=FExternalCryptoKeyID, write=FSetExternalCryptoKeyID };
Default Value
""
Remarks
The ID of the pre-shared key used for DC request authentication.
Asynchronous DCAuth-driven communication requires that parties authenticate each other with a secret pre-shared cryptographic key. This provides extra protection layer for the protocol and diminishes the risk of private key becoming abused by foreign parties. Use this property to provide the pre-shared key identifier, and use ExternalCryptoKeySecret to pass the key itself.
The same KeyID/KeySecret pair should be used on the DCAuth side for the signing requests to be accepted.
Note: The KeyID/KeySecret scheme is very similar to the AuthKey scheme used in various Cloud service providers to authenticate users.
Example:
signer.ExternalCrypto.KeyID = "MainSigningKey"; signer.ExternalCrypto.KeySecret = "abcdef0123456789";
