Struct saltyrtc_client::crypto::KeyPair

pub struct KeyPair { /* fields omitted */ }

Wrapper for holding a public/private key pair and encrypting/decrypting messages.

Methods

impl KeyPair

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new key pair and wrap it in a KeyPair.

Panics

This may panic if libsodium initialization fails.

pub fn from_private_key(private_key: PrivateKey) -> Self

Create a new key pair from an existing private key.

The private key is consumed and transferred into the KeyPair.

pub fn from_keypair(public_key: PublicKey, private_key: PrivateKey) -> Self

Create a new key pair from an existing public and private key.

The two keys are consumed and transferred into the KeyPair.

pub fn public_key(&self) -> &PublicKey

Return a reference to the public key.

pub fn public_key_hex(&self) -> String

Return the public key as hex-encoded string.

pub fn private_key(&self) -> &PrivateKey

Return a reference to the private key.

Warning: Be careful with this! The only reason to access the private key is probably to be able to restore it when working with trusted keys.

pub fn private_key_hex(&self) -> String

Return the private key as hex-encoded string.

Warning: Be careful with this! The only reason to access the private key is probably to be able to restore it when working with trusted keys.
