Struct PublicKey

pub struct PublicKey { /* private fields */ }

A PublicKey is used to verify signatures.

Implementations

impl PublicKey

pub fn from_bytes(buf: &[u8]) -> Result<PublicKey, PError>

Deserialize a PublicKey.

For storage, a PublicKeyBox is usually what you need instead.

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize a PublicKey.

For storage, a PublicKeyBox is usually what you want to use instead.

pub fn from_box(pk_box: PublicKeyBox) -> Result<PublicKey, PError>

Convert a PublicKeyBox to a PublicKey.

pub fn to_box(&self) -> Result<PublicKeyBox, PError>

Convert a PublicKey to a PublicKeyBox.

pub fn from_base64(pk_string: &str) -> Result<PublicKey, PError>

Create a minimal public key from a base64-encoded string.

pub fn to_base64(&self) -> String

Encode a public key as a base64-encoded string.

pub fn from_file<P>(pk_path: P) -> Result<PublicKey, PError>

where P: AsRef<Path>,

Load a PublicKeyBox from a file, and returns a PublicKey from it.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for PublicKey

fn clone(&self) -> PublicKey

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for PublicKey

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for PublicKey

fn eq(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
