pub struct Signature { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

An annotated cryptographic signature.

Includes the version of hash that was signed, the Identity of the signer, and the signature itself. These are always encoded together to make it easier to verify signatures appended to a chunk of data.

A signature can be constructed in one of two ways: calling sign(...) on an IdentityKey, or by verifying an UnverifiedSignature.

The byte encoding is specifically:

  1. The Hash version byte
  2. The encoded signing Identity
  3. The cryptographic signature’s raw bytes

Implementations

The version of the Hash used in signature computation.

The public Identity of the IdentityKey that created this signature.

Encode the signature onto a Vec<u8>. Adds the hash version, signing identity, and signature bytes.

The length of the signature, in bytes, when encoded.
