Struct Seed 

pub struct Seed(/* private fields */);

Holds a 256-bit seed used for randomization. The default seed uses rand::FromEntropy::from_entropy to generate a random value, this uses the underlying OS getrandom() syscall (on linux /dev/random) which is both convient and safe.

Example

use asjeeves_encryption::prelude::*;
// Generate a seed from a u64 (useful for testing)
let seed = Seed::from(1);
// Generate a random seed (recomeneded for production).
let seed = Seed::default();
// Get an rng
let mut rng : Rng = seed.rng();
let kek = KeyEncryptionKey::generate(&mut rng);

Implementations

impl Seed

pub fn rng(&self) -> Rng

Returns a randomizer Rng. This uses the ChaCha20 Algorithm. See: ChaCha Wikipedia Page

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Seed

fn clone(&self) -> Seed

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Seed

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Seed

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl From<u64> for Seed

fn from(value: u64) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
