Enum Key 

pub enum Key {
    Public(PublicKey),
    Private(PrivateKey),
}

A key that is either public or private.

Variants

Public(PublicKey)

Private(PrivateKey)

Implementations

impl Key

pub fn algorithm(&self) -> Algorithm

Returns the algorithm.

pub fn key_type(&self) -> KeyType

Returns the key type.

pub fn bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns the raw key bytes.

pub fn as_public(&self) -> Option<&PublicKey>

Returns a reference to the inner PublicKey if this is a public key.

pub fn as_private(&self) -> Option<&PrivateKey>

Returns a reference to the inner PrivateKey if this is a private key.

pub fn into_public(self) -> Option<PublicKey>

Consumes self and returns the inner PublicKey if this is a public key.

pub fn into_private(self) -> Option<PrivateKey>

Consumes self and returns the inner PrivateKey if this is a private key.

pub fn from_der(der: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>

Decode a DER-encoded key (auto-detecting SPKI or PKCS8).

pub fn to_der(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Encode this key as DER, returning a new Vec<u8>.

Note: For private keys, prefer using PrivateKey::to_der() directly to get a Zeroizing<Vec<u8>> wrapper that auto-zeroizes on drop.

pub fn encode_der_to(&self, out: &mut Vec<u8>)

Encode this key as DER into the given buffer.

pub fn from_pem(pem: &str) -> Result<Self>

Decode a PEM-encoded key (auto-detecting PUBLIC KEY or PRIVATE KEY label).

pub fn to_pem(&self) -> String

Encode this key as PEM.

Note: For private keys, prefer using PrivateKey::to_pem() directly to get a Zeroizing<String> wrapper that auto-zeroizes on drop.

Trait Implementations

impl AsRef<[u8]> for Key

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

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

impl Clone for Key

fn clone(&self) -> Key

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Key

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<PrivateKey> for Key

fn from(key: PrivateKey) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<PublicKey> for Key

fn from(key: PublicKey) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PartialEq for Key

fn eq(&self, other: &Key) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl<'a> TryFrom<&'a [u8]> for Key

type Error = Error

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(der: &'a [u8]) -> Result<Self>

Performs the conversion.

impl Eq for Key

impl StructuralPartialEq for Key
