Feature #2922

Updated by Junxiao Shi almost 9 years ago

Currently, it requires too much typing to write a signing command. 
 For example, to sign with a cert name, one has to write 

     keyChain.sign(packet, security::SigningInfo(security::SigningInfo::SIGNER_TYPE_CERT, certName)); 

 We should create helper functions for `SigningInfo` creation. 

     SigningInfo 
     signingByIdentity(const Name& identityName); identity); 

     SigningInfo 
     signingByKey(const Name& keyName); identity, const name::Component& keyId); 

     SigningInfo 
     signingByCertificate(const Name& certName); 

     SigningInfo 
     signingWithSha256(); 

 These free functions should be declared in `ndn::security` namespace, and exported to `ndn` namespace. 

 After this change, the above example can be written as: 

     keyChain.sign(packet, signingByCertificate(certName));
