Struct SecretKey 

pub struct SecretKey { /* private fields */ }

Ed25519 signing key (RFC 8032).

Generating a key

use crypto::curve25519::ed25519::SecretKey;

let priv_key = SecretKey::generate().unwrap();
let pub_key = priv_key.public_key();

Signing and verification

use crypto::curve25519::ed25519::SecretKey;

let priv_key = SecretKey::generate().unwrap();
let pub_key = priv_key.public_key();
let sig = priv_key.sign(b"message");
assert!(pub_key.verify(b"message", &sig).is_ok());

Implementations

impl SecretKey

pub fn generate() -> Result<SecretKey, EllipticCurveError>

Generates a fresh random secret key.

Returns EllipticCurveError::Random when the operating system’s random number generator is unavailable or fails.

pub fn from_bytes(seed: &[u8; 32]) -> SecretKey

pub fn sign(&self, message: &[u8]) -> [u8; 64]

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 32]

pub fn public_key(&self) -> PublicKey

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SecretKey

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Drop for SecretKey

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

fn pin_drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pin_ergonomics)

Execute the destructor for this type, but different to Drop::drop, it requires self to be pinned.

impl Eq for SecretKey

impl From<&SecretKey> for SecretKey

fn from(ed25519_key: &SecretKey) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl From<&[u8; 32]> for SecretKey

fn from(bytes: &[u8; 32]) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PartialEq for SecretKey

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

Equality operator ==.

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

Inequality operator !=.

impl StructuralPartialEq for SecretKey

impl TryFrom<&[u8]> for SecretKey

type Error = EllipticCurveError

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

Performs the conversion.

impl Zeroize for SecretKey

fn zeroize(&mut self)

Zero out this object from memory using Rust intrinsics which ensure the zeroization operation is not “optimized away” by the compiler.
