Struct UnlockKey 

pub struct UnlockKey { /* private fields */ }

A LUKS key used to unlock a device.

This struct ensures that the sensitive material used to unlock the LUKS container is protected while in memory and is automatically zeroed when no longer needed. It intentionally does not implement Debug to prevent accidental exposure of the unlock key in logs or error reports.

Implementations

impl UnlockKey

pub fn from_passphrase(passphrase: String) -> Self

Creates a new LUKS unlock key from a passphrase.

pub fn expose_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Unboxes the LUKS key, returning its raw bytes for use in cryptographic operations.

Trait Implementations

impl From<&str> for UnlockKey

fn from(passphrase: &str) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<String> for UnlockKey

fn from(passphrase: String) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.
