Struct elliptic_curve::SecretKey[][src]

pub struct SecretKey<C: Curve> { /* fields omitted */ }
This is supported on crate feature zeroize only.
Expand description

Elliptic curve secret keys.

This type wraps a secret scalar value, helping to prevent accidental exposure and securely erasing the value from memory when dropped (when the zeroize feature of this crate is enabled).

Parsing PKCS#8 Keys

PKCS#8 is a commonly used format for encoding secret keys (especially ones generated by OpenSSL).

Keys in PKCS#8 format are either binary (ASN.1 BER/DER), or PEM encoded (ASCII) and begin with the following:

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

To decode an elliptic curve private key from PKCS#8, enable the pkcs8 feature of this crate (or the pkcs8 feature of a specific RustCrypto elliptic curve crate) and use the elliptic_curve::pkcs8::FromPrivateKey trait to parse it.

When the pem feature of this crate (or a specific RustCrypto elliptic curve crate) is enabled, a FromStr impl is also available.
