fido_assert_allow_cred(3)

fido_assert_allow_cred3

Manage allow lists in a fido2 assertion

Usage

#include <fido.h>

int

fido_assert_allow_cred(fido_assert_t *assert, const unsigned char *ptr, size_t len);

int

fido_assert_empty_allow_list(fido_assert_t *assert);

Overview

The fido_assert_allow_cred() function adds ptr to the list of credentials allowed in assert, where ptr points to a credential ID of len bytes. A copy of ptr is made, and no references to the passed pointer are kept. If fido_assert_allow_cred() fails, the existing list of allowed credentials is preserved.

For the format of a FIDO2 credential ID, please refer to the Web Authentication (webauthn) standard.

The fido_assert_empty_allow_list() function empties the list of credentials allowed in assert.

Return values

The error codes returned by fido_assert_allow_cred() and fido_assert_empty_allow_list() are defined in ⟨fido/err.h⟩. On success, FIDO_OK is returned.
