Struct rjwt::Actor

pub struct Actor<A> { /* fields omitted */ }

An actor with an identifier of type T and an ECDSA keypair used to sign tokens.

IMPORTANT NOTE: for security reasons, although Actor implements Clone, its secret key will NOT be cloned. For example:

let actor = Actor::<String>::new("id".to_string()); // this has a new secret key
let cloned = actor.clone(); // this does NOT have a secret key, only a public key

Implementations

impl<A> Actor<A>

pub fn new_keypair() -> Keypair

Generate a new ECDSA keypair.

pub fn new(id: A) -> Self

Return an Actor with a newly-generated keypair.

pub fn with_keypair(id: A, public_key: &[u8], secret: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>

Return an Actor with the given keypair, or an error if the keypair is invalid.

pub fn with_public_key(id: A, public_key: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>

Return an Actor with the given public key, or an error if the key is invalid.

pub fn id(&self) -> &A

The identifier of this actor.

pub fn public_key(&self) -> &PublicKey

The public key of this actor, which a client can use to verify a signature.

pub fn sign_token<H: Serialize, C: Serialize>(
    &self,
    token: &Token<H, A, C>
) -> Result<String> where
    A: Serialize, 

Encode and sign the given token.

Trait Implementations

impl<A: Clone> Clone for Actor<A>

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

pub fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
