25 * Identity service; implements identity management for GNUnet
27 * @defgroup identity Identity service
28 * Identity management.
30 * Egos in GNUnet are ECDSA keys. You assume an ego by using (signing
31 * with) a particular private key. As GNUnet users are expected to
32 * have many egos, we need an identity service to allow users to
33 * manage their egos. The identity service manages the egos (private
34 * keys) of the local user; it does NOT manage egos of other users
35 * (public keys). For giving names to other users and manage their
36 * public keys securely, we use GNS.

111 * When used with #GNUNET_IDENTITY_connect, this function is
112 * initially called for all egos and then again whenever a
113 * ego's name changes or if it is deleted. At the end of
114 * the initial pass over all egos, the function is once called
115 * with 'NULL' for @a ego. That does NOT mean that the callback won't
116 * be invoked in the future or that there was an error.
118 * When used with #GNUNET_IDENTITY_create or #GNUNET_IDENTITY_get,
119 * this function is only called ONCE, and 'NULL' being passed in
120 * @a ego does indicate an error (i.e. name is taken or no default
121 * value is known). If @a ego is non-NULL and if '*ctx'
122 * is set in those callbacks, the value WILL be passed to a subsequent
123 * call to the identity callback of #GNUNET_IDENTITY_connect (if
124 * that one was not NULL).
