Security Fetcher Interface

This trait defines the interface for implementing a custom security fetcher, responsible for obtaining the private key from the specifications of the device. By implementing this trait, you can define a specific process for retrieving the private key securely, such as utilizing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or other dedicated security hardware.

§Asynchronous Fetching

The method read_private_key is asynchronous, indicated by the async_trait attribute. It asynchronously returns a Vec of bytes (u8), representing the private key. Implementers of this trait can perform asynchronous operations, such as reading the key from a file, fetching it from a remote service, or using any other asynchronous mechanism.

§Errors

The read_private_key method may return an std::io::Error if any I/O operation fails during the fetching process.

Required Methods§

Source

fn read_private_key<'life0, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<Vec<u8>, Error>> + Send + 'async_trait>>
where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait,

Returns a Vec of bytes representing the private key from the implementation.

§Errors

During the fetching process, an std::io::Error can occur if any I/O operation fails.
