Struct ethcontract::secret::PrivateKey

pub struct PrivateKey(_);

A secret key used for signing and hashing.

This type has a safe Debug implementation that does not leak information. Additionally, it implements Drop to zeroize the memory to make leaking passwords less likely.

Methods

impl PrivateKey

pub fn from_raw(raw: [u8; 32]) -> Result<Self, InvalidPrivateKey>

Creates a new private key from raw bytes.

pub fn from_slice<B: AsRef<[u8]>>(raw: B) -> Result<Self, InvalidPrivateKey>

Creates a new private key from a slice of bytes.

pub fn from_hex_str<S: AsRef<str>>(s: S) -> Result<Self, InvalidPrivateKey>

Creates a new private key from a hex string representation. Accepts hex string with or without leading "0x".

pub fn public_address(&self) -> Address

Gets the public address for a given private key.

Methods from Deref<Target = SecretKey>

pub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const u8

Converts the object to a raw pointer for FFI interfacing

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length of the object as an array

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns whether the object as an array is empty
