Struct ChatIdentity 

pub struct ChatIdentity { /* private fields */ }

The chat identity: an ed25519 keypair whose public key is the stable chat id. This is separate from the Nym transport identity.

Implementations

impl ChatIdentity

pub fn generate() -> Self

Generate a new identity from the operating-system RNG.

pub fn from_secret_bytes(bytes: [u8; 32]) -> Self

Restore an identity from raw ed25519 secret bytes.

The bytes are the encryption key material: never log them or store them unencrypted.

pub fn from_secret_hex(value: &str) -> Result<Self>

Restore an identity from a 32-byte hex secret.

pub fn secret_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 32]

Secret serialization. Callers must encrypt it at rest.

pub fn secret_hex(&self) -> String

Secret serialization as lowercase hex. Callers must encrypt it at rest.

pub fn public_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 32]

The ed25519 public key bytes, which are also the stable chat id.

pub fn public_hex(&self) -> String

The ed25519 public key as lowercase hex.

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

Sign a message with this identity’s ed25519 key, returning hex.

pub fn verify_hex( public_hex: &str, message: &[u8], signature_hex: &str, ) -> Result<()>

Verify a hex-encoded ed25519 signature against a hex public key.

Uses strict verification, so non-canonical signatures are rejected.

pub fn seal_to( &self, recipient_pub_hex: &str, aad: &[u8], plaintext: &[u8], ) -> Result<SealedDm>

Seal plaintext to a peer’s ed25519 public key.

pub fn open_sealed(&self, sealed: &SealedDm, aad: &[u8]) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Open a sealed blob addressed to this identity.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ChatIdentity

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ChatIdentity

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.
