pub struct ElGamalKeypair {
    pub public: ElGamalPubkey,
    pub secret: ElGamalSecretKey,
}
Expand description

A (twisted) ElGamal encryption keypair.

The instances of the secret key are zeroized on drop.

Fields§

§public: ElGamalPubkey

The public half of this keypair.

§secret: ElGamalSecretKey

The secret half of this keypair.

Implementations§

Deterministically derives an ElGamal keypair from an Ed25519 signing key and a Solana address.

This function exists for applications where a user may not wish to maintin a Solana (Ed25519) keypair and an ElGamal keypair separately. A user may wish to solely maintain the Solana keypair and then derive the ElGamal keypair on-the-fly whenever encryption/decryption is needed.

For the spl token-2022 confidential extension application, the ElGamal encryption public key is specified in a token account address. A natural way to derive an ElGamal keypair is then to define it from the hash of a Solana keypair and a Solana address. However, for general hardware wallets, the signing key is not exposed in the API. Therefore, this function uses a signer to sign a pre-specified message with respect to a Solana address. The resulting signature is then hashed to derive an ElGamal keypair.

Generates the public and secret keys for ElGamal encryption.

This function is randomized. It internally samples a scalar element using OsRng.
