}

Convenience trait for working with keys.

This trait is implemented for rPGP’s SignedPublicKey and SignedSecretKey types and makes working with them a little easier in the deltachat world.

Required Methods

fn to_asc(&self, header: Option<(&str, &str)>) -> String

Serialise the key to ASCII-armored representation.

Each header line must be terminated by \r\n. Only allows setting one header as a simplification since that’s the only way it’s used so far.

fn dc_fingerprint(&self) -> Fingerprint

The fingerprint for the key.

fn is_private() -> bool

fn key_id(&self) -> KeyId

Provided Methods

fn from_slice(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self>

Create a key from some bytes.

fn from_base64(data: &str) -> Result<Self>

Create a key from a base64 string.

fn from_asc(data: &str) -> Result<(Self, BTreeMap<String, String>)>

Create a key from an ASCII-armored string.

Returns the key and a map of any headers which might have been set in the ASCII-armored representation.

fn to_bytes(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Serialise the key as bytes.

fn to_base64(&self) -> String

Serialise the key to a base64 string.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
