Struct Key

pub struct Key { /* private fields */ }

Base key type that provides secure memory handling

Enhanced version of the original Key type with additional security features

Implementations

impl Key

pub fn new(bytes: &[u8]) -> Key

Create a new key from a byte array

pub fn new_zeros(len: usize) -> Key

Create a new key with zeros

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Get the length of the key

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Check if the key is empty

Trait Implementations

impl AsMut<[u8]> for Key

fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]

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

impl AsRef<[u8]> for Key

fn as_ref(&self) -> &[u8]

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

impl Clone for Key

fn clone(&self) -> Key

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Drop for Key

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl Serialize for Key

fn to_bytes(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error>

Convert the object to a byte array

fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Key, Error>

Create an object from a byte array

impl Zeroize for Key

fn zeroize(&mut self)

Zero out this object from memory using Rust intrinsics which ensure the zeroization operation is not “optimized away” by the compiler.
