Struct VerificationError 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct VerificationError;

Verification failed.

Returned when cryptographic verification fails (MAC tags, AEAD tags, signatures). Intentionally opaque to prevent timing side-channels.

Examples

use rscrypto::traits::{VerificationError, ct::constant_time_eq};

fn verify(computed: &[u8; 32], expected: &[u8; 32]) -> Result<(), VerificationError> {
  if constant_time_eq(computed, expected) {
    Ok(())
  } else {
    Err(VerificationError::new())
  }
}

let a = [0u8; 32];
let b = [1u8; 32];
assert!(verify(&a, &b).is_err());

Security

This error provides no details about the failure to prevent timing side-channels. Treat it as a generic authentication failure and avoid mapping it to finer-grained protocol responses that would recreate an oracle. The underlying verification should use constant-time comparison.
