Struct SecretKey 

pub struct SecretKey { /* private fields */ }

An age secret key that securely wipes its memory when dropped.

The secret key is stored as bytes. The Display implementation redacts the value, showing [REDACTED]. Use expose() to get the raw string (use with caution).

Implementations

impl SecretKey

pub fn expose(&self) -> &str

Exposes the raw secret key as a string.

Panics

Panics if the inner bytes are not valid UTF-8 (should never happen because the key is created from a valid UTF-8 string).

Security

Only use this when absolutely necessary, as it exposes the secret.
