Struct PrivateKeyRef 

pub struct PrivateKeyRef<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A borrowed private key reference. Zero-copy over input data.

Implementations

impl<'a> PrivateKeyRef<'a>

pub fn new(algorithm: Algorithm, bytes: &'a [u8]) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new PrivateKeyRef after validating key size.

pub fn algorithm(&self) -> Algorithm

Returns the algorithm.

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

Returns the raw key bytes.

pub fn key_type(&self) -> KeyType

Returns the key type (always Private).

pub fn from_pkcs8(der: &'a [u8]) -> Result<Self>

Decode a PKCS8 DER-encoded private key (zero-copy).

pub fn encode_pkcs8_to(&self, out: &mut Vec<u8>)

Encode this private key as PKCS8 DER into the given buffer.

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

Encode this private key as DER into the given buffer (alias for encode_pkcs8_to).

pub fn to_pkcs8(&self) -> Zeroizing<Vec<u8>>

Encode this private key as PKCS8 DER, returning a Zeroizing<Vec<u8>>. The returned wrapper automatically zeroizes the DER bytes on drop.

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

Encode this private key as DER, returning a Zeroizing<Vec<u8>> (alias for to_pkcs8). The returned wrapper automatically zeroizes the DER bytes on drop.

pub fn encode_pem_to(&self, out: &mut String)

Encode this private key as PEM, appending directly to out.

pub fn to_pem(&self) -> Zeroizing<String>

Encode this private key as PEM, returning a Zeroizing<String>. The returned wrapper automatically zeroizes the PEM string on drop.

pub fn to_owned(&self) -> PrivateKey

Converts to an owned PrivateKey.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Clone for PrivateKeyRef<'a>

fn clone(&self) -> PrivateKeyRef<'a>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for PrivateKeyRef<'_>

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'a> From<PrivateKeyRef<'a>> for PrivateKey

fn from(key: PrivateKeyRef<'a>) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl<'a> PartialEq for PrivateKeyRef<'a>

fn eq(&self, other: &PrivateKeyRef<'a>) -> 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.
