Struct rpki::crypto::keys::PublicKeyFormat

pub struct PublicKeyFormat;

The formats of public keys used by RPKI.

Currently, RPKI uses exactly one type of public keys, RSA keys with a size of 2048 bits. However, as that might change in the future, we are not hard-coding that format but rather use this type – which for the time being is zero-sized.

Methods

impl PublicKeyFormat

ASN.1 Algorithm Identifiers

The format of the public key is identified in certificates through a algorithm identifier defined with this ASN.1:

AlgorithmIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
     algorithm          OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
     parameters         ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL }

Right now, the object identifier needs to be that of rsaEncryption defined by RFC 4055 and the parameters must be present and NULL. Then parsing, we generously also allow it to be absent altogether.

The functions and methods in this section allow decoding and encoding of these identifiers.

pub fn take_from<S: Source>(cons: &mut Constructed<S>) -> Result<Self, S::Err>

Takes and returns a algorithm identifier.

Returns a malformed error if the algorithm isn’t one of the allowed algorithms or if the value isn’t correctly encoded.

pub fn encode(self) -> impl Values

Provides an encoder for the algorihm identifier.
