Peer-to-peer (P2P) application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow an application to create, import, export, manage, enumerate, and delete P2P identities are presented. Further, the management of group identity information is provided. APIs abstract away from low level credential and cryptographic functions required to create and manage P2P identities. This management includes retrieval and setting of a friendly name, generation of a cryptographic public/private key pair, retrieval of security information in the form of an XML fragment, and creation of a new name based on an existing identity. |

1. A device comprising:
one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media, coupled to the one or more processors, storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform a method of communicating between an application program of a resolution protocol and a server process on a same node to manage peer-to-peer identities, the method comprising:
providing, on the same node, an application program interface for use by the application program of the resolution protocol to manage peer-to-peer identities;receiving, at the server process on the same node, via the application program interface, a peer identity create call having a plurality of call parameters comprising a classifier, a peer-to-peer friendly name, a handle to a container in which a key pair exists, and a pointer to a location to which an identity name should be returned, the key pair including a private key and a public key, and the key pair and the classifier being usable to generate the identity name;parsing, at the server process, the peer identity create call to retrieve the plurality of call parameters; andreturning to the application program a value indicative of the success/failure of the peer identity create call. |
