Struct PublicKey

Source

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

Available on crate feature key only.

Expand description

A public key.

The key itself is stored as the CompressedEdwards y coordinate of the public key It is verified to decompress into a valid key when created.

Implementations§

Source §

impl PublicKey

Source

pub const LENGTH: usize = 32usize

The length of an ed25519 PublicKey, in bytes.

Source

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8; 32]

Get this public key as a byte array.

Source

pub fn public(&self) -> VerifyingKey

Returns the [VerifyingKey] for this PublicKey.

Source

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8; 32]) -> Result<Self, SignatureError>

Construct a PublicKey from a slice of bytes.

§Warning

This will return a SignatureError if the bytes passed into this method do not represent a valid ed25519_dalek curve point. Will never fail for bytes return from Self::as_bytes. See [VerifyingKey::from_bytes] for details.

Source

pub fn verify( &self, message: &[u8], signature: &Signature, ) -> Result<(), SignatureError>

Verify a signature on a message with this secret key’s public key.

§Return

Returns Ok(()) if the signature is valid, and Err otherwise.

Source

pub fn fmt_short(&self) -> impl Display + 'static

Convert to a hex string limited to the first 5 bytes for a friendly string representation of the key.

Methods from Deref<Target = [u8; 32]>§

Source

pub fn as_ascii(&self) -> Option<&[AsciiChar; N]>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this array of bytes into an array of ASCII characters, or returns None if any of the characters is non-ASCII.

§Examples

#![feature(ascii_char)]

const HEX_DIGITS: [std::ascii::Char; 16] =
    *b"0123456789abcdef".as_ascii().unwrap();

assert_eq!(HEX_DIGITS[1].as_str(), "1");
assert_eq!(HEX_DIGITS[10].as_str(), "a");

Source

pub unsafe fn as_ascii_unchecked(&self) -> &[AsciiChar; N]

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this array of bytes into an array of ASCII characters, without checking whether they’re valid.

§Safety

Every byte in the array must be in 0..=127, or else this is UB.

1.57.0 · Source

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]

Returns a slice containing the entire array. Equivalent to &s[..].

1.77.0 · Source

pub fn each_ref(&self) -> [&T; N]

Borrows each element and returns an array of references with the same size as self.

§Example

let floats = [3.1, 2.7, -1.0];
let float_refs: [&f64; 3] = floats.each_ref();
assert_eq!(float_refs, [&3.1, &2.7, &-1.0]);

This method is particularly useful if combined with other methods, like map. This way, you can avoid moving the original array if its elements are not Copy.

let strings = ["Ferris".to_string(), "♥".to_string(), "Rust".to_string()];
let is_ascii = strings.each_ref().map(|s| s.is_ascii());
assert_eq!(is_ascii, [true, false, true]);

// We can still access the original array: it has not been moved.
assert_eq!(strings.len(), 3);

Source

pub fn split_array_ref<const M: usize>(&self) -> (&[T; M], &[T])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one array reference into two at an index.

The first will contain all indices from [0, M) (excluding the index M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

§Panics

Panics if M > N.

§Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

{
   let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<0>();
   assert_eq!(left, &[]);
   assert_eq!(right, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<2>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[3, 4, 5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<6>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[]);
}

Source

pub fn rsplit_array_ref<const M: usize>(&self) -> (&[T], &[T; M])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one array reference into two at an index from the end.

The first will contain all indices from [0, N - M) (excluding the index N - M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [N - M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

§Panics

Panics if M > N.

§Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

{
   let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<0>();
   assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
   assert_eq!(right, &[]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<2>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<6>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
}
