Struct Keys 

pub struct Keys<'names> { /* private fields */ }

Contains the key pairs and their names. This struct is to use the key pairs and to retrieve them. It can also be used to create new key pairs.

Implementations

impl<'names> Keys<'names>

pub fn new(priv_key_name: &'names str, pub_key_name: &'names str) -> Self

Creates key pairs.

Parameters

• priv_key_name & pub_key_name: The name of the keys. If the keys are saved to disk with self.write_to_disk the values for these variables will be the file name.

pub fn retrieve_keys( priv_key_path: &'names str, password: &str, pub_key_path: &'names str, ) -> AnyResult<Self>

Will read the PEM encoded public and private keys and return Self. If you only want a specific key look at their respective function.

• retrieve_private_key
• retrieve_public_key

Parameters

• priv_key: Path to private key file.
• password: The password used to encrypt the private key.
• pub_key: Path to public key file.

pub fn retrieve_private_key( priv_key_path: &'names str, password: &str, ) -> AnyResult<Self>

impl Keys<'_>

pub fn write_to_disk(&self, priv_key_pass: &str, folder: &str) -> AnyResult<()>

Will further encrypt the self.priv_key before writing it to disk. Both keys will be PEM encoded.

Parameters

• priv_key_pass: The password used to encrypt the private key.
• folder: The folder to write the keys to. If left empty will default to cwd.
