Struct PrivateKey

pub struct PrivateKey<U: Lifetime> { /* private fields */ }

A private key for key agreement.

Implementations

impl<U: Lifetime> PrivateKey<U>

pub fn algorithm(&self) -> &'static Algorithm

pub fn compute_public_key(&self) -> Result<PublicKey>

pub fn agree( self, peer_public_key: &UnparsedPublicKey<'_>, ) -> Result<InputKeyMaterial>

Ephemeral agreement. This consumes self, ensuring that the private key can only be used for a single agreement operation.

impl PrivateKey<Static>

pub fn agree_static( &self, peer_public_key: &UnparsedPublicKey<'_>, ) -> Result<InputKeyMaterial>

Static agreement. This borrows self, allowing the private key to be used for a multiple agreement operations.

pub fn import(ec_key: &EcKey) -> Result<Self>

pub fn export(&self) -> Result<EcKey>

pub fn _tests_only_dangerously_convert_to_ephemeral( self, ) -> PrivateKey<Ephemeral>

The whole point of having Ephemeral and Static lifetimes is to use the type system to avoid re-using the same ephemeral key. However for tests we might need to create a “static” ephemeral key.
