KeyAbstract

The Xmf\Key\KeyAbstract is an abstract class that defines a Key.

The concrete implementations of KeyAbstract are responsible for

• creating keys

• serializing and deserializing key data for storage

• interacting with a StorageInterface implementation for key persistence as needed

__construct($storage, $name)

The StorageInterface instance, $storage, handles persistence for this key. The $name parameter is the symbolic name of the key to use. The $name uniquely identifies the key in the key store. The key name should relate to a specific application action, or a closely related set of actions.

getSigning()

Returns a key string to be used for signing.

getVerifying()

Returns a key string to be used for verifying.

create()

Create the key and store it for use.

Returns true on success, otherwise false.

kill()

Delete the key from storage.
