.Sh DESCRIPTION
FIDO 2 assertions are abstracted in
.Em libfido2
by the
.Vt fido_assert_t
type.
The functions described in this page allow a
.Vt fido_assert_t
type to be allocated, deallocated, and inspected.
For other operations on
.Vt fido_assert_t ,
please refer to
.Xr fido_assert_set_authdata 3 ,
.Xr fido_assert_allow_cred 3 ,
.Xr fido_assert_verify 3 ,
and
.Xr fido_dev_get_assert 3 .
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_new
function returns a pointer to a newly allocated, empty
.Vt fido_assert_t
type.
If memory cannot be allocated, NULL is returned.
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_free
function releases the memory backing
.Fa *assert_p ,
where
.Fa *assert_p
must have been previously allocated by
.Fn fido_assert_new .
On return,
.Fa *assert_p
is set to NULL.
Either
.Fa assert_p
or
.Fa *assert_p
may be NULL, in which case
.Fn fido_assert_free
is a NOP.
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_count
function returns the number of statements in
.Fa assert .
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_rp_id
function returns a pointer to a NUL-terminated string holding the
relying party ID of
.Fa assert .
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_user_display_name ,
.Fn fido_assert_user_icon ,
and
.Fn fido_assert_user_name ,
functions return pointers to the user display name, icon, and
name attributes of statement
.Fa idx
in
.Fa assert .
If not NULL, the values returned by these functions point to
NUL-terminated UTF-8 strings.
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_user_id_ptr ,
.Fn fido_assert_authdata_ptr ,
.Fn fido_assert_hmac_secret_ptr ,
.Fn fido_assert_sig_ptr ,
and
.Fn fido_assert_id_ptr
functions return pointers to the user ID, authenticator data,
hmac-secret, signature, and credential ID attributes of statement
.Fa idx
in
.Fa assert .
The
.Fn fido_assert_user_id_len ,
.Fn fido_assert_authdata_len ,
.Fn fido_assert_hmac_secret_len ,
.Fn fido_assert_sig_len ,
and
.Fn fido_assert_id_len
functions can be used to retrieve the corresponding length of a
specific attribute.
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_sigcount
function can be used to obtain the signature counter of statement
.Fa idx
in
.Fa assert .
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_flags
function returns the authenticator data flags of statement
.Fa idx
in
.Fa assert .
.Pp
Please note that the first statement in
.Fa assert
has an
.Fa idx
(index) value of 0.
.Pp
The authenticator data and signature parts of an assertion
statement are typically passed to a FIDO 2 server for verification.
.Pp
The
.Fn fido_assert_clientdata_hash_ptr
function returns a pointer to the client data hash of
.Fa assert .
The corresponding length can be obtained by
.Fn fido_assert_clientdata_hash_len .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn fido_assert_user_display_name ,
.Fn fido_assert_user_icon ,
.Fn fido_assert_user_name ,
.Fn fido_assert_authdata_ptr ,
.Fn fido_assert_clientdata_hash_ptr ,
.Fn fido_assert_user_id_ptr ,
and
.Fn fido_assert_sig_ptr
functions return NULL if the respective field in
.Fa assert
is not set.
If not NULL, returned pointers are guaranteed to exist until any API
function that takes
.Fa assert
without the
.Em const
qualifier is invoked.
