Struct PublicKey 

pub struct PublicKey { /* private fields */ }

A voter’s public identity. Safe to publish.

Internally a Ristretto255 point; externally 32 bytes.

Implementations

impl PublicKey

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 32]

Encode the key as 32 canonical bytes (compressed Ristretto).

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8; 32]) -> Result<Self>

Decode 32 bytes produced by PublicKey::to_bytes.

Returns Error::InvalidPoint if the bytes are not the canonical encoding of a point in the Ristretto255 group.

pub fn to_hex(&self) -> String

Hex-encode using lowercase digits (64 characters).

pub fn from_hex(s: &str) -> Result<Self>

Decode from a 64-character hex string.

pub fn to_prefixed(&self) -> String

Encode in the human-friendly prefixed format: pk_<hex>_<checksum>.

Same bytes as PublicKey::to_hex, wrapped with a pk_ tag and a checksum. See crate::encoding.

pub fn from_prefixed(s: &str) -> Result<Self>

Decode a pk_<hex>_<checksum> string produced by PublicKey::to_prefixed, verifying the tag and the checksum.
