In .Em libfido2 , a FIDO2 assertion is abstracted 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. The user display name, icon, and name attributes will typically only be returned by the authenticator if user verification was performed by the authenticator and multiple resident/discoverable credentials were involved in the assertion. .Pp The .Fn fido_assert_authdata_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_authdata_raw_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_clientdata_hash_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_id_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_user_id_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_sig_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_sigcount , and .Fn fido_assert_flags functions return pointers to the CBOR-encoded and raw authenticator data, client data hash, credential ID, user ID, signature, signature count, and authenticator data flags of statement .Fa idx in .Fa assert . .Pp The .Fn fido_assert_hmac_secret_ptr function returns a pointer to the hmac-secret attribute of statement .Fa idx in .Fa assert . The HMAC Secret Extension .Pq hmac-secret is a CTAP 2.0 extension. Note that the resulting hmac-secret varies according to whether user verification was performed by the authenticator. .Pp The .Fn fido_assert_blob_ptr and .Fn fido_assert_largeblob_key_ptr functions return pointers to the .Dq credBlob and .Dq largeBlobKey attributes of statement .Fa idx in .Fa assert . Credential Blob .Pq credBlob and Large Blob Key .Pq largeBlobKey are CTAP 2.1 extensions. .Pp The .Fn fido_assert_authdata_len , .Fn fido_assert_authdata_raw_len , .Fn fido_assert_clientdata_hash_len , .Fn fido_assert_id_len , .Fn fido_assert_user_id_len , .Fn fido_assert_sig_len , .Fn fido_assert_hmac_secret_len , .Fn fido_assert_blob_len , and .Fn fido_assert_largeblob_key_len functions return the length of a given attribute. .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 FIDO2 server for verification. .Sh RETURN VALUES The authenticator data returned by .Fn fido_assert_authdata_ptr is a CBOR-encoded byte string, as obtained from the authenticator. .Pp The .Fn fido_assert_rp_id , .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_id_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_user_id_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_sig_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_hmac_secret_ptr , .Fn fido_assert_blob_ptr , and .Fn fido_assert_largeblob_key_ptr functions may 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. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr fido_assert_allow_cred 3 , .Xr fido_assert_set_authdata 3 , .Xr fido_assert_verify 3 , .Xr fido_dev_get_assert 3 , .Xr fido_dev_largeblob_get 3
