Struct Signature

pub struct Signature { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature alloc only.

Low-level digital signature (e.g. DSA, ECDSA, Ed25519).

These are low-level signatures used as part of the OpenSSH certificate format to represent signatures by certificate authorities (CAs), as well as the higher-level SshSig format, which provides general-purpose signing functionality using SSH keys.

From OpenSSH’s PROTOCOL.certkeys specification:

Signatures are computed and encoded according to the rules defined for the CA’s public key algorithm (RFC4253 section 6.6 for ssh-rsa and ssh-dss, RFC5656 for the ECDSA types, and RFC8032 for Ed25519).

RSA signature support is implemented using the SHA2 family extensions as described in RFC8332.

Implementations

impl Signature

pub fn new( algorithm: Algorithm, data: impl Into<Vec<u8>>, ) -> Result<Signature, Error>

Create a new signature with the given algorithm and raw signature data.

See specifications in toplevel Signature documentation for how to format the raw signature data for a given algorithm.

Returns

• Error::Encoding if the signature is not the correct length.

pub fn algorithm(&self) -> Algorithm

Get the Algorithm associated with this signature.

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

Get the raw signature as bytes.

Trait Implementations

impl AsRef<[u8]> for Signature

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

Converts this type into a shared reference of the (usually inferred) input type.

impl Clone for Signature

fn clone(&self) -> Signature

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Signature

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Decode for Signature

type Error = Error

Type returned in the event of a decoding error.

fn decode(reader: &mut impl Reader) -> Result<Signature, Error>

Attempt to decode a value of this type using the provided Reader.

impl Encode for Signature

fn encoded_len(&self) -> Result<usize, Error>

Get the length of this type encoded in bytes, prior to Base64 encoding.

fn encode(&self, writer: &mut impl Writer) -> Result<(), Error>

Encode this value using the provided Writer.

fn encoded_len_prefixed(&self) -> Result<usize, Error>

Return the length of this type after encoding when prepended with a uint32 length prefix.

fn encode_prefixed(&self, writer: &mut impl Writer) -> Result<(), Error>

Encode this value, first prepending a uint32 length prefix set to Encode::encoded_len.

fn encode_vec(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error>

Encode this value, returning a Vec<u8> containing the encoded message.

impl LowerHex for Signature

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Ord for Signature

fn cmp(&self, other: &Signature) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for Signature

fn eq(&self, other: &Signature) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for Signature

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl SignatureEncoding for Signature

type Repr = Vec<u8>

fn to_bytes(&self) -> Self::Repr

Encode signature as its byte representation.

fn to_vec(&self) -> Vec<u8>

fn encoded_len(&self) -> usize

Get the length of this signature when encoded.

impl Signer<Signature> for PrivateKey

fn try_sign(&self, message: &[u8]) -> Result<Signature, Error>
