This library crate contains most of the logic for dealing with lair.
- If you wish to run an in-process / in-memory keystore, or connect to
an external lair keystore as a client, this is the library for you.
- If you want to run the canonical lair-keystore, see the
[lair_keystore](https://crates.io/crates/lair_keystore) crate.
- If you want to run a canonical lair-keystore in-process, using
the canonical sqlcipher database, see the
[lair_keystore](https://crates.io/crates/lair_keystore) crate.
- See the [lair_api] module for information about the lair_keystore_api
protocol.
- See [LairClient] for the client struct api.
##### Establishing a client connection to a canonical ipc keystore binary:
```rust
use lair_keystore_api::prelude::*;
use lair_keystore_api::ipc_keystore::*;
// create a client connection
let client =
ipc_keystore_connect(connection_url, passphrase)
.await
.unwrap();
// create a new seed
let seed_info = client.new_seed(
"test-seed".into(),
None,
false,
).await.unwrap();
// sign some data
let sig = client.sign_by_pub_key(
seed_info.ed25519_pub_key.clone(),
None,
b"test-data".to_vec().into(),
).await.unwrap();
// verify the signature
assert!(seed_info.ed25519_pub_key.verify_detached(
sig,
b"test-data".to_vec().into(),
).await);
```
