RTCPeerConnection: getIdentityAssertion() method

The getIdentityAssertion() method of the RTCPeerConnection interface initiates the gathering of an identity assertion. This has an effect only if the signalingState is not "closed".

It is not expected for the application dealing with the RTCPeerConnection: this is automatically done; an explicit call only allows to anticipate the need.

Syntax

getIdentityAssertion()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A Promise which resolves to an identity assertion encoded as a string.

Example

const pc = new RTCPeerConnection();

pc.setIdentityProvider("developer.mozilla.org");
const assertion = await pc.getIdentityAssertion();
