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

RNG singleton

Required Methods

Constructor from secret bytes.

Ref to 32-byte slice

Provided Methods

Generates secure random key.

Random number generator which implements CryptRng is used internally.

Makes chacha20poly1305::Key
