Struct p384::ecdsa::Error

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct Error { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature ecdsa-core only.

Signature errors.

This type is deliberately opaque as to avoid sidechannel leakage which could potentially be used recover signing private keys or forge signatures (e.g. BB’06).

When the std feature is enabled, it impls [std::error::Error] and supports an optional [std::error::Error::source], which can be used by things like remote signers (e.g. HSM, KMS) to report I/O or auth errors.

Implementations

impl Error

pub fn new() -> Error

Create a new error with no associated source

pub fn from_source(
    source: impl Into<Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static, Global>>
) -> Error

Available on crate feature std only.

Create a new error with an associated source.

NOTE: The “source” should NOT be used to propagate cryptographic errors e.g. signature parsing or verification errors. The intended use cases are for propagating errors related to external signers, e.g. communication/authentication errors with HSMs, KMS, etc.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Error

fn default() -> Error

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Display for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for Error

Available on crate feature std only.

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

The lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0: use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0: replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, demand: &mut Demand<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access)

Provides type based access to context intended for error reports.

impl From<Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static, Global>> for Error

Available on crate feature std only.

fn from(source: Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static, Global>) -> Error

Converts to this type from the input type.
