Struct Nonce 

#[repr(C)]
pub struct Nonce(pub [u8; 24]);

A single-use value used during encryption. Each encrypted/sealed box must have its own nonce.

Tuple Fields

0: [u8; 24]

Implementations

impl Nonce

pub const SIZE: usize = 24usize

The size of a nonce, in bytes (24).

pub fn zero() -> Nonce

A nonce, filled with zeros. This is used during the ssb handshake, and probably shouldn’t be used otherwise.

pub fn generate() -> Nonce

Generate a new, random nonce.

pub fn generate_with_rng<R>(r: &mut R) -> Nonce

where R: CryptoRng + RngCore,

Generate a new, random nonce using the given cryptographically-secure random number generator.

pub fn from_slice(s: &[u8]) -> Option<Self>

Deserialize a nonce from a byte slice.

Returns None if the byte slice length isn’t 24.

Trait Implementations

impl AsBytes for Nonce

fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Get the bytes of this value.

fn as_bytes_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]

where Self: FromBytes,

Get the bytes of this value mutably.

impl Clone for Nonce

fn clone(&self) -> Nonce

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for Nonce
