Struct age::Encryptor

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

Encryptor for creating an age file.

Implementations

impl Encryptor

pub fn with_recipients( recipients: Vec<Box<dyn Recipient + Send>> ) -> Option<Self>

Constructs an Encryptor that will create an age file encrypted to a list of recipients.

Returns None if no recipients were provided.

pub fn with_user_passphrase(passphrase: SecretString) -> Self

Returns an Encryptor that will create an age file encrypted with a passphrase. Anyone with the passphrase can decrypt the file.

This API should only be used with a passphrase that was provided by (or generated for) a human. For programmatic use cases, instead generate an x25519::Identity and then use Encryptor::with_recipients.

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

Creates a wrapper around a writer that will encrypt its input.

Returns errors from the underlying writer while writing the header.

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

pub async fn wrap_async_output<W: AsyncWrite + Unpin>( self, output: W ) -> Result<StreamWriter<W>, EncryptError>

Available on crate feature async only.

Creates a wrapper around a writer that will encrypt its input.

Returns errors from the underlying writer while writing the header.

You MUST call [AsyncWrite::poll_close] when you are done writing, in order to finish the encryption process. Failing to call [AsyncWrite::poll_close] will result in a truncated file that will fail to decrypt.
