Struct KeyPair 

pub struct KeyPair {
    pub public: PublicKey,
    pub secret: SecretKey,
}

An age X25519 key pair consisting of a public key and a secret key.

KeyPair is the central type of this crate. It is produced by build_keypair and provides access to both the public identity (safe to share) and the secret identity (must be kept confidential).

Fields

• public: PublicKey – The public key. It is guaranteed to start with "age1" and can be safely displayed, cloned, and shared.
• secret: SecretKey – The secret key. It is automatically zeroized when dropped, and its Display and Debug implementations redact the actual key material.

Creation

KeyPair cannot be constructed directly from outside the crate because its constructor is pub(crate). This ensures that all key pairs are produced by [build_keypair], which properly generates a fresh identity and validates both keys.

Examples

use age_setup::build_keypair;

let kp = build_keypair()?;
println!("Public key: {}", kp.public);
// Secret key is redacted when printed:
println!("Secret key: {}", kp.secret);   // prints [REDACTED]

Fields

public: PublicKey

The public half of the key pair.

secret: SecretKey

The secret half of the key pair (zeroized on drop).
