Expand description
Performs a key agreement with an ephemeral private key and the given public key.
my_private_key
is the ephemeral private key to use. Since it is moved, it
will not be usable after calling agree_ephemeral
, thus guaranteeing that
the key is used for only one key agreement.
peer_public_key
is the peer’s public key. agree_ephemeral
will return
Err(error_value)
if it does not match my_private_key's
algorithm/curve.
agree_ephemeral
verifies that it is encoded in the standard form for the
algorithm and that the key is valid; see the algorithm’s documentation for
details on how keys are to be encoded and what constitutes a valid key for
that algorithm.
error_value
is the value to return if an error occurs before kdf
is
called, e.g. when decoding of the peer’s public key fails or when the public
key is otherwise invalid.
After the key agreement is done, agree_ephemeral
calls kdf
with the raw
key material from the key agreement operation and then returns what kdf
returns.
