Expand description

Signing key for a specific signature cryptosystem. In the case of public-key cryptosystems, this is a private key.

This trait provides a uniform interface for different backends / implementations of the same cryptosystem.

Required Methods§

source

fn from_slice(raw: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>

Creates a key from raw bytes. Returns an error if the bytes do not represent a valid key.

source

fn to_verifying_key(&self) -> T::VerifyingKey

Converts a signing key to a verification key.

source

fn as_bytes(&self) -> SecretBytes<'_>

Returns the key as raw bytes.

Implementations should return Cow::Borrowed whenever possible (that is, if the bytes are actually stored within the implementing data structure).

Object Safety§

This trait is not object safe.
