Trait for AEAD ciphers with improved type safety

Required Associated Types

type Algorithm: AeadAlgorithm

The algorithm this cipher implements

type Key: AsRef<[u8]> + AsMut<[u8]> + Clone + Zeroize

Key type with appropriate size guarantee

Required Methods

fn new(key: &Self::Key) -> Result<Self>

where Self: Sized,

Creates a new AEAD cipher instance

fn encrypt(&self) -> impl AeadEncryptOperation<'_, Self::Algorithm>

Begin encryption operation with operation pattern

fn decrypt(&self) -> impl AeadDecryptOperation<'_, Self::Algorithm>

Begin decryption operation with operation pattern

fn generate_key<R: RngCore + CryptoRng>(rng: &mut R) -> Result<Self::Key>

Generate a random key

fn generate_nonce<R: RngCore + CryptoRng>(rng: &mut R) -> Result<Nonce<12>>

Generate a random nonce for ChaCha20Poly1305

Provided Methods

fn name() -> &'static str

Returns the cipher name

fn key_size() -> usize

Returns the key size in bytes

fn tag_size() -> usize

Returns the tag size in bytes

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
