Struct edcert_letter::letter::Letter

pub struct Letter<T: Fingerprint> { /* fields omitted */ }

Use this type to sign content.

Methods

impl<T: Fingerprint> Letter<T>

fn new(content: T, signature: Signature) -> Letter<T>

This method creates a Letter from its parts: A piece of content (which must be convertable to a &u8) and a Signature.

fn with_private_key(content: T, private_key: &[u8]) -> Letter<T>

This method creates a Letter by signing itself with the given private key

fn with_certificate(content: T, cert: &Certificate) -> Result<Letter<T>, ()>

This method creates a Letter by signing itself with the given certificate. The certificate must have a private key.

fn get(&self) -> &T

This method returns a reference to the contained object.

Trait Implementations

impl<T: PartialEq + Fingerprint> PartialEq for Letter<T>

fn eq(&self, __arg_0: &Letter<T>) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, __arg_0: &Letter<T>) -> bool

This method tests for !=.

impl<T: Debug + Fingerprint> Debug for Letter<T>

fn fmt(&self, __arg_0: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<T: Fingerprint> Validatable for Letter<T>

fn self_validate<V: Validator>(&self, cv: &V) -> Result<(), ValidationError>

This method is given a validator. It can access the master public key indirectly using the Validator.

impl<T: Fingerprint> Fingerprint for Letter<T>

fn fingerprint(&self) -> Vec<u8>

The fingerprint method should return a value that is unique to the implementing type.

impl<T: Fingerprint> Deref for Letter<T>

type Target = T

The resulting type after dereferencing

fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target

The method called to dereference a value

impl<T: Fingerprint> Revokable for Letter<T>

fn self_check_revoked<R: Revoker>(&self, _: &R) -> Result<(), RevokeError>

This method can use the revoker to check if it has been revoked.
