Module proj_crypto::asymmetric::key_id

Key ID module

Used to select the correct public key from the other party from the set of known public keys

Example

extern crate sodiumoxide;
extern crate proj_crypto;

use proj_crypto::asymmetric::key_exchange::gen_keypair;
use proj_crypto::asymmetric::PublicKey;
use proj_crypto::asymmetric::key_id::*;
use std::collections::HashMap;

sodiumoxide::init();

// keypairs
let (me, one, two, three) = (gen_keypair(), gen_keypair(), gen_keypair(), gen_keypair());

let mut db: HashMap<PublicKeyId, PublicKey> = HashMap::new();
db.insert(id_of_pk(&one.0), one.0.clone());
db.insert(id_of_pk(&two.0), two.0.clone());
db.insert(id_of_pk(&three.0), three.0.clone());

let pk = find_public_key(&id_of_pk(&two.0), &db).unwrap();

Structs

PublicKeyId

Public Key - just an alias. Implements drop() so the memory will be wiped when it goes out of scope The type of the identifier used to specify the other party's public key. This has to be a custom struct so that I can implement std::hash::Hash

Functions

find_public_key	Given an identifier, attempts to find the correct public key to use in LongKeys.
id_of_pk	Calculate the ID of a public key
