Struct SecretKey 

pub struct SecretKey(/* private fields */);

An ECDH private key: a nonzero scalar.

Served by the curve’s ECDH driver. Zeroed on drop.

Implementations

impl SecretKey

pub fn generate() -> Result<Self, Error>

Generate a random private key.

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8; 48]) -> Result<Self, Error>

Load a private key from its big-endian encoding. Fails if it is zero or not less than n.

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 48]

The private key as big-endian bytes.

pub fn to_scalar(&self) -> Scalar

The private key as a scalar.

pub fn public_key(&self) -> Result<PublicKey, Error>

The corresponding public key.

pub fn diffie_hellman(&self, peer: &PublicKey) -> Result<SharedSecret, Error>

The shared secret with peer: the X coordinate of self * peer.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SecretKey

fn clone(&self) -> SecretKey

Returns a duplicate of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SecretKey

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

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 TryFrom<Scalar> for SecretKey

type Error = Error

The type returned in the event of a conversion error.

fn try_from(k: Scalar) -> Result<Self, Error>

Performs the conversion.
