Function ssb_validate::message::validate_multi_author_message_hash_chain [−][src]
pub fn validate_multi_author_message_hash_chain<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(
message_bytes: T
) -> Result<()>
Check that an out-of-order message is valid without checking the author.
It expects the messages to be the JSON encoded message of shape: {key: "", value: {...}}
This checks that:
- the actual hash matches the hash claimed in
key
- the message contains the correct fields
- the message value fields are in the correct order
- there are no unexpected top-level fields in the message
- the hash signature is defined as
sha256
- the message
content
string is canonical base64
This does not check:
- the signature (see ssb-verify-signatures which lets you to batch verification of signatures)
- the previous message
- no check of the sequence to ensure it increments by 1 compared to previous
- no check that the actual hash of the previous message matches the hash claimed in
previous
- no check that the author has not changed
