Module activeledger::key::export

Exporter

The exporter module provides the ability to export keys generated by the SDK (or imported via the importer module)

Currently RSA and EC (SECP256K1) keys can be exported

Examples

For this example we will be using an RSA key example but other keys will be similar, the alternative functions are listed at the end of the example.

let rsa = RSA::new("Key name").unwrap();
let path = "export/path/file.json";
// Pass a reference of the key and write path to the exporter
export::export_rsa(&rsa, path).unwrap();
// Note! The path must include the file name!

The other functions for key exporting are:

export::export_ec(&ec, path).unwrap();

File Structure

The file that is exported will have the following JSON structure

{
    "name":"",
    "type":"",
    "pem": {
       "private": "",
       "public":""
    }
}

Functions

export_ec	Export an EC key to the specified location.Key.
export_rsa	Export an RSA key to the specified location.Key.
