Struct EphemeralSecret

pub struct EphemeralSecret<T>
where
    T: Zeroize,
{ /* private fields */ }

Ephemeral secret that is automatically zeroized after use

This type wraps any type T and ensures it is zeroized when dropped. It’s useful for temporary secrets and intermediate cryptographic values.

Implementations

impl<T> EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize,

pub fn new(value: T) -> EphemeralSecret<T>

Create a new ephemeral secret

pub fn into_inner(self) -> T

Consume the secret and return the inner value

Note: After calling this method, the caller is responsible for ensuring the value is properly zeroized.

Trait Implementations

impl<T> AsMut<T> for EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize,

fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T

Converts this type into a mutable reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl<T> AsRef<T> for EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize,

fn as_ref(&self) -> &T

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl<T> Clone for EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize + Clone,

fn clone(&self) -> EphemeralSecret<T>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<T> Debug for EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize + Debug,

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T> Default for EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize + Default,

fn default() -> EphemeralSecret<T>

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<T> Deref for EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize,

type Target = T

The resulting type after dereferencing.

fn deref(&self) -> &<EphemeralSecret<T> as Deref>::Target

Dereferences the value.

impl<T> DerefMut for EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize,

fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut <EphemeralSecret<T> as Deref>::Target

Mutably dereferences the value.

impl<T> Drop for EphemeralSecret<T>

where T: Zeroize,

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
