Module iop_keyvault::multicipher
source · [−]Expand description
A type-erased version of AsymmetricCrypto and KeyDerivationCrypto. Serialized versions
of crypto concepts, like KeyId, PublicKey, PrivateKey, Signature,
ExtendedPrivateKey and ExtendedPublicKey can be all deserialized into
their MultiCipher versions.
This allows multiple cryptographic algorithms to co-exist in a software, which is needed
during migration of a single software to a new cryptography, or which is the status quo in
larger software ecosystems.
MultiCipher can be thought of a variant of multiple incompatible cipher suits, which are
strongly typed, but are chosen at run-time.
