Struct Ed25519PrivateKey 

pub struct Ed25519PrivateKey { /* private fields */ }

A structure containing information about an Ed25519 private key.

Implementations

impl Ed25519PrivateKey

pub fn pkcs8() -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Generate Ed25519 key bytes in pkcs8 format.

pub fn from_ed25519(key: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>

Create a new PrivateKey from an ed25519 keypair. The keypair is a 64 byte slice, where the first 32 bytes are the ed25519 seed, and the second 32 bytes are the public key.

pub fn from_ed25519_with_keyid_hash_algorithms( key: &[u8], keyid_hash_algorithms: Option<Vec<String>>, ) -> Result<Self>

Create a new PrivateKey from an ed25519 keypair with a custom keyid_hash_algorithms. The keypair is a 64 byte slice, where the first 32 bytes are the ed25519 seed, and the second 32 bytes are the public key.

pub fn from_pkcs8(der_key: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>

Create a private key from PKCS#8v2 DER bytes.

Generating Keys

$ touch ed25519-private-key.pk8
$ chmod 0600 ed25519-private-key.pk8

let mut file = File::open("ed25519-private-key.pk8").unwrap();
let key = Ed25519KeyPair::generate_pkcs8(&SystemRandom::new()).unwrap();
file.write_all(key.as_ref()).unwrap()

Trait Implementations

impl PrivateKey for Ed25519PrivateKey

fn sign(&self, msg: &[u8]) -> Result<Signature>

Sign a message.

fn public(&self) -> &PublicKey

Return the public component of the key.
