Struct Key 

pub struct Key<P: KeyPurpose>(/* private fields */);

The symmetric encryption key used to communicate with the other side.

You don’t need to do any crypto, but you might need it to derive subkeys for sub-protocols.

Implementations

impl<P: KeyPurpose> Key<P>

pub fn new(key: Box<Key>) -> Self

Create a new key

pub fn to_hex(&self) -> String

Encode a key as a hex string

pub fn derive_subkey_from_purpose<NewP: KeyPurpose>( &self, purpose: &str, ) -> Key<NewP>

Derive a new sub-key from this one

Trait Implementations

impl<P: KeyPurpose> AsRef<[u8]> for Key<P>

fn as_ref(&self) -> &[u8]

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl<P: KeyPurpose> AsRef<GenericArray<u8, UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UInt<UTerm, B1>, B0>, B0>, B0>, B0>, B0>>> for Key<P>

fn as_ref(&self) -> &Key

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl<P: Clone + KeyPurpose> Clone for Key<P>

fn clone(&self) -> Key<P>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<P: Debug + KeyPurpose> Debug for Key<P>

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