Trait jwt_compact::alg::SigningKey

}Expand description
Signing key for a specific signature cryptosystem. In the case of public-key cryptosystems, this is a private key.
This trait provides a uniform interface for different backends / implementations of the same cryptosystem.
Required Methods§
sourcefn from_slice(raw: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>
fn from_slice(raw: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>
Creates a key from raw bytes. Returns an error if the bytes do not represent
a valid key.
sourcefn to_verifying_key(&self) -> T::VerifyingKey
fn to_verifying_key(&self) -> T::VerifyingKey
Converts a signing key to a verification key.
sourcefn as_bytes(&self) -> SecretBytes<'_>
fn as_bytes(&self) -> SecretBytes<'_>
Returns the key as raw bytes.
Implementations should return Cow::Borrowed whenever possible (that is, if the bytes
are actually stored within the implementing data structure).
