Expand description

32-byte key shared among sender and receiver secretly.

The reason why this is not a struct but a trait is:

shared key should be serialized and encrypted in order to be shared among peers
but this -core trait is serialization agnostic.

So, implementators of this trait is expected to have serde::{Serialize, Deserialize} and SerdeSerializePublicKey trait bounds.

Required Associated Types

type R: RngSingleton

RNG singleton

Required Methods

fn from_array(key: [u8 ; 32]) -> Self where
Self: Sized,

Constructor from secret bytes.

fn as_slice(&self) -> &[u8 ]ⓘNotable traits for &'_ [u8 ]`impl<'_> Read for &'_ [u8]impl<'_> Write for &'_ mut [u8]`

Ref to 32-byte slice

Provided Methods

fn generate() -> Self where
Self: Sized,

Generates secure random key.

Random number generator which implements CryptRng is used internally.

fn to_chacha_key(&self) -> &ChaChaKey

Makes chacha20poly1305::Key
