Module sequoia_openpgp::crypto

source · [−]

Expand description

Cryptographic primitives.

This module contains cryptographic primitives as defined and used by OpenPGP. It abstracts over the cryptographic library chosen at compile time. Most of the time, it will not be necessary to explicitly use types from this module directly, but they are used in the API (e.g. Password). Advanced users may use these primitives to provide custom extensions to OpenPGP.

Common Operations

Converting a string to a Password: Use Password::from.
Create a session key: Use SessionKey::new.
Use secret keys: See the KeyPair example.

Modules

Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman.

Cryptographic hash functions and hashing of OpenPGP data structures.

Memory protection and encryption.

Multiprecision Integers.

Structs

A cryptographic key pair.

Holds a password.

Holds a session key.

Enums

String-to-Key (S2K) specifiers.

Traits

Decrypts a message.

Creates a signature.

Functions

Returns a short, human-readable description of the backend.

Fills the given buffer with random data.
