Struct double_ratchet::Header

pub struct Header<PublicKey> {
    pub dh: PublicKey,
    pub n: Counter,
    pub pn: Counter,
}

The Header that should be sent alongside the ciphertext.

The Header contains the information for the DoubleRatchet to find the correct MessageKey to decrypt the message. It is generated by encrypting a message.

Fields

dh: PublicKey

The public half of the key-pair of the sender

n: Counter

Counts the number of messages that have been sent in the current send ratchet

pn: Counter

Counts the number of messages that have been sent in the previous send ratchet
