Struct DirectoryAuthority 

pub struct DirectoryAuthority {
    pub nickname: String,
    pub address: IpAddr,
    pub dir_port: u16,
    pub or_port: u16,
    pub fingerprint: String,
    pub v3ident: Option<String>,
}

Information about a Tor directory authority.

Directory authorities are trusted servers that vote on the network consensus. They are hardcoded into Tor clients and are the root of trust for the Tor network.

Fields

Each authority has:

• A nickname for identification
• Network addresses (IP, DirPort, ORPort)
• A fingerprint (identity key hash)
• A v3ident (v3 authority identity) for consensus voting

Example

use stem_rs::descriptor::remote::get_authorities;

for auth in get_authorities() {
    println!("{}: {}:{}", auth.nickname, auth.address, auth.dir_port);
}

Fields

nickname: String

Human-readable name of the authority.

Examples: “moria1”, “tor26”, “gabelmoo”

address: IpAddr

IP address of the authority.

dir_port: u16

Port for directory requests (HTTP).

Used for downloading descriptors and consensus documents.

or_port: u16

Port for onion routing connections (TLS).

Used for relay-to-relay communication.

fingerprint: String

SHA-1 fingerprint of the authority’s identity key.

A 40-character hexadecimal string.

v3ident: Option<String>

V3 directory authority identity.

Used for signing votes and the consensus. Some authorities may not have this if they don’t participate in v3 consensus voting.
