Struct KeyPair 

pub struct KeyPair { /* private fields */ }

An Ed25519 signing key. Clones share one secret, which is wiped from memory when the last of them is dropped (SigningKey zeroizes itself).

Implementations

impl KeyPair

pub fn generate() -> Self

pub fn from_secret(bytes: Zeroizing<[u8; 32]>) -> Self

pub fn load_or_create(path: &Path, uid: u32) -> Result<Self>

Loads the key at path, creating it (mode 0600) if it does not exist. An existing file is held to check_private.

pub fn load(path: &Path, uid: u32) -> Result<Self>

Loads the key at path, which must be private to uid (check_private).

pub fn load_carried(path: &Path, uid: u32) -> Result<(Self, bool)>

Loads a key from wherever it was kept, a USB stick included, whose file system may show every file as readable by all: only the owner is checked. Says whether others may read the file, for a warning.

pub fn public_hex(&self) -> String

pub fn sign_hex(&self, msg: &[u8]) -> String

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for KeyPair

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
