Trait Keypair 

pub trait Keypair: Sized + ConstantTimeEq {
    type SecretLen: ArrayLength;

    // Required methods
    fn random() -> Self;
    fn from_secret(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, CryptoError>;
    fn secret(&self) -> &SecretValue<Self::SecretLen>;

}
Expand description

Represents a generic key pair The keypair contains a private key and public key. Must be comparable in constant time and zeroized on drop.

Required Associated Types§

type SecretLen: ArrayLength

Represents the type of the private (secret) key

type Public: BytesRepresentable + Clone + PartialEq

Represents the type of the public key

Required Methods§

fn random() -> Self

Generates a new random keypair.

fn from_secret(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, CryptoError>

Creates a keypair from the given secret key.

fn secret(&self) -> &SecretValue<Self::SecretLen>

Returns the private (secret) part of the keypair

fn public(&self) -> &Self::Public

Returns the public part of the keypair

Provided Methods§

fn unzip(self) -> (SecretValue<Self::SecretLen>, Self::Public)

Consumes the instance and produces separated private and public parts

Dyn Compatibility§

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
