Module edcert::fingerprint [] [src]

This module contains the trait Fingerprint. It provides a fingerprint() method, which is used in cryptographic context to identify some value. For example, a Certificate implements Fingerprint and returns its public key on fingerprint(). On the other hand, secure containers (like Letter in edcert-letter) could return a hash of the contained value.
