Module tink_core::primitiveset
source · Expand description
Provides a container for a set of cryptographic primitives.
It provides also additional properties for the primitives it holds. In particular, one of the primitives in the set can be distinguished as “the primary” one.
Structs
Entry
represents a single entry in the keyset. In addition to the actual primitive, it holds the identifier and status of the primitive.PrimitiveSet
is used for supporting key rotation: primitives in a set correspond to keys in a keyset. Users will usually work with primitive instances, which essentially wrap primitive sets. For example an instance of an AEAD-primitive for a given keyset holds a set of AEAD-primitives corresponding to the keys in the keyset, and uses the set members to do the actual crypto operations: to encrypt data the primary AEAD-primitive from the set is used, and upon decryption the ciphertext’s prefix determines the id of the primitive from the set.TypedEntry
represents a single entry in a keyset for primitives of a known type. In addition to the actual primitive, it holds the identifier and status of the primitive.
