Expand description
This module provides a generic set of traits for dealing with cryptographic primitives.
For examples on how to use these traits, see the implementations of the [ed25519
] or
[bls12381
] modules.
Enums
- An error type for key and signature validation issues, see
ValidCryptoMaterial
.
Traits
- A type family with a by-convention notion of genesis private key.
- The serialized length of the data that enables macro derived serialization and deserialization.
- A type family for key material that should remain secret and has an associated type of the
PublicKey
family. - A type for key material that can be publicly shared, and in asymmetric fashion, can be obtained from a
PrivateKey
reference. This convertibility requirement ensures the existence of a deterministic, canonical public key construction from a private key. - A type family for signature material that knows which public key type is needed to verify it, and given such a public key, knows how to verify.
- A type family of valid keys that know how to sign.
- A type family for schemes which know how to generate key material from a cryptographically-secure
CryptoRng
. - Key or more generally crypto material with a notion of byte validation.
- An extension to to/from Strings for
ValidCryptoMaterial
. - A type family of public keys that are used for signing.
