Struct btlib::crypto::Envelope

pub struct Envelope<T> { /* private fields */ }

A struct which contains the cipher text for a message along with the ciphertext of the key that was used to encrypt the message. This is useful for encrypting messages that are too long to be encrypted using an asymmetric encryption scheme.

Implementations

impl<T: Serialize + DeserializeOwned> Envelope<T>

pub fn new<E: Encrypter>(plaintext: &T, encrypter: E) -> Result<Envelope<T>>

Creates a new Envelope containing plaintext whose symmetric key is encrypted using encrypter.

pub fn open<D: Decrypter>(&self, decrypter: D) -> Result<T>

Uses decrypter to decrypt the key in this Envelope and uses this key to decrypt and return the original message.

Trait Implementations

impl<'de, T> Deserialize<'de> for Envelope<T>where T: Deserialize<'de>,

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl<T> Serialize for Envelope<T>where T: Serialize,

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
