Struct SecretKey 

pub struct SecretKey { /* private fields */ }

A cryptographic key is automatically zeroed on drop

Implementations

impl SecretKey

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: Vec<u8>, algorithm: Algorithm) -> Result<Self>

Create a new SecretKey from raw bytes

#Errors Return error if the key doesn’t match the algorithm

pub fn generate(algorithm: Algorithm) -> Result<Self>

Generate a new random key for the given algorithm

pub fn algorithm(&self) -> Algorithm

Get the algorithm for this key

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

Expose the raw key material

#Safety This exposes the raw key raw materials. The caller is responsible for ensuring it doesn’t leak

pub fn ct_eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

Constant-time equality comparison

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SecretKey

fn clone(&self) -> SecretKey

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SecretKey

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for SecretKey

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl Zeroize for SecretKey

fn zeroize(&mut self)

Zero out this object from memory using Rust intrinsics which ensure the zeroization operation is not “optimized away” by the compiler.
