Enum ipfs::PublicKey

pub enum PublicKey {
    Ed25519(PublicKey),
    Rsa(PublicKey),
    Secp256k1(PublicKey),
}

The public key of a node's identity keypair.

Variants

Ed25519(PublicKey)

A public Ed25519 key.

Rsa(PublicKey)

A public RSA key.

Secp256k1(PublicKey)

A public Secp256k1 key.

Implementations

impl PublicKey

pub fn verify(&self, msg: &[u8], sig: &[u8]) -> bool

Verify a signature for a message using this public key, i.e. check that the signature has been produced by the corresponding private key (authenticity), and that the message has not been tampered with (integrity).

pub fn into_protobuf_encoding(self) -> Vec<u8>

Encode the public key into a protobuf structure for storage or exchange with other nodes.

pub fn from_protobuf_encoding(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<PublicKey, DecodingError>

Decode a public key from a protobuf structure, e.g. read from storage or received from another node.

pub fn into_peer_id(self) -> PeerId

Convert the PublicKey into the corresponding PeerId.
