Struct OpenPGP 

pub struct OpenPGP { /* private fields */ }

An OpenPGP card object (backed by a CardBackend implementation).

Most users will probably want to use the PcscCard backend from the card-backend-pcsc crate.

Users of this crate can keep a long-lived OpenPGP object, including in long-running programs. All operations must be performed on a Transaction (which must be short-lived).

Implementations

impl OpenPGP

pub fn new<B>(backend: B) -> Result<Self, Error>

where B: Into<Box<dyn CardBackend + Send + Sync>>,

Turn a CardBackend into a OpenPGP object:

The OpenPGP application is SELECTed, and the card capabilities of the card are retrieved from the “Application Related Data”.

pub fn into_card(self) -> Box<dyn CardBackend + Send + Sync>

Get the internal CardBackend.

This is useful to perform operations on the card with a different crate, e.g. yubikey-management.

pub fn transaction(&mut self) -> Result<Transaction<'_>, Error>

Start a transaction on the underlying CardBackend. The resulting Transaction object allows performing commands on the card.

Note: Transactions on the Card cannot be long running. They may be reset by the smart card subsystem within seconds, when idle.
