pub enum Encryptor {
    Keys(Vec<RecipientKey>),
    Passphrase(SecretString),
}

Handles the various types of age encryption.

Passphrase(SecretString)

Encryption to a passphrase.

Methods

impl Encryptor

pub fn wrap_output<W: Write>(
    &self,
    output: W,
    format: Format
) -> Result<StreamWriter<W>>

Creates a wrapper around a writer that will encrypt its input, and optionally ASCII armor the output.

Returns errors from the underlying writer while writing the header.

You MUST call finish() when you are done writing, in order to finish the encryption process. Failing to call finish() will result in a truncated message that will fail to decrypt.
