A base trait for all elliptic curve keys.

This trait defines common functionality for all elliptic curve keys, including both private and public keys. It provides methods for key construction from binary data and hexadecimal strings, as well as conversion to hexadecimal format.

All EC key types have a fixed size depending on their specific type:

• EC private keys: 32 bytes
• EC compressed public keys: 33 bytes
• EC uncompressed public keys: 65 bytes
• Schnorr public keys: 32 bytes

Required Associated Constants

const KEY_SIZE: usize

The size of the key in bytes.

Required Methods

fn from_data_ref(data: impl AsRef<[u8]>) -> Result<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Creates a key from a reference to binary data.

Returns an error if the data is not valid for this key type.

fn data(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns the key’s binary data.

Provided Methods

fn hex(&self) -> String

Returns the key as a hexadecimal string.

fn from_hex(hex: impl AsRef<str>) -> Result<Self>

Creates a key from a hexadecimal string.

Returns an error if the string is not valid hexadecimal or if the resulting data is not valid for this key type.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
