Struct NonceClient

pub struct NonceClient { /* private fields */ }

A client for generating cryptographically signed NonceCredentials.

This client is stateless and responsible for creating credentials that can be verified by a NonceServer.

Example

use nonce_auth::NonceClient;
use hmac::Mac; // Trait for `mac.update()`

let client = NonceClient::new(b"my_secret");
let payload = b"some_data_to_protect";

// Standard usage:
let credential = client.credential_builder().sign(payload).unwrap();

// Advanced usage:
let custom_credential = client.credential_builder().sign_with(|mac, ts, nonce| {
    mac.update(ts.as_bytes());
    mac.update(nonce.as_bytes());
    mac.update(payload);
}).unwrap();

Implementations

impl NonceClient

pub fn new(secret: &[u8]) -> Self

Creates a new NonceClient with the specified shared secret and default generators.

Uses UUID v4 for nonce generation and system time for timestamps. For more customization options, use NonceClient::builder().

pub fn builder() -> NonceClientBuilder

Creates a new NonceClientBuilder for advanced configuration.

pub fn credential_builder(&self) -> NonceCredentialBuilder<'_>

Returns a builder to construct and sign a NonceCredential.

This is the recommended entry point for creating credentials.
