Expand description

A type family of valid keys that know how to sign.

This trait has a requirement on a pub(crate) marker trait meant to specifically limit its implementations to the present crate.

A trait for a ValidCryptoMaterial which knows how to sign a message, and return an associated Signature type.

Required Associated Types§

type VerifyingKeyMaterial: VerifyingKey<SigningKeyMaterial = Self>

The associated verifying key type for this signing key.

type SignatureMaterial: Signature<SigningKeyMaterial = Self>

The associated signature type for this signing key.

Required Methods§

fn sign<T>(&self, message: &T) -> Self::SignatureMaterialwhere T: CryptoHash + Serialize,

Signs an object that has an distinct domain-separation hasher and that we know how to serialize. There is no pre-hashing into a HashValue to be done by the caller.

Note: this assumes serialization is unfaillible. See diem_common::bcs::ser for a discussion of this assumption.

fn sign_arbitrary_message(&self, message: &[u8]) -> Self::SignatureMaterial

Signs a non-hash input message. For testing only.

Provided Methods§

fn verifying_key(&self) -> Self::VerifyingKeyMaterial

Returns the associated verifying key
