Struct RandomizedNonceKey

pub struct RandomizedNonceKey { /* private fields */ }

AEAD Cipher key using a randomized nonce.

RandomizedNonceKey handles generation random nonce values.

The following algorithms are supported:

• AES_128_GCM
• AES_256_GCM

Prefer this type in place of LessSafeKey, OpeningKey, SealingKey.

Implementations

impl RandomizedNonceKey

pub fn new( algorithm: &'static Algorithm, key_bytes: &[u8], ) -> Result<RandomizedNonceKey, Unspecified>

New Random Nonce Sequence

Errors

pub fn open_in_place<'in_out, A>( &self, nonce: Nonce, aad: Aad<A>, in_out: &'in_out mut [u8], ) -> Result<&'in_out mut [u8], Unspecified>

where A: AsRef<[u8]>,

Authenticates and decrypts (“opens”) data in place.

Errors

error::Unspecified when ciphertext is invalid.

pub fn seal_in_place_append_tag<'a, A, InOut>( &self, aad: Aad<A>, in_out: &'a mut InOut, ) -> Result<Nonce, Unspecified>

where A: AsRef<[u8]>, InOut: AsMut<[u8]> + for<'in_out> Extend<&'in_out u8>,

Encrypts and signs (“seals”) data in place, appending the tag to the resulting ciphertext.

key.seal_in_place_append_tag(aad, in_out) is equivalent to:

key.seal_in_place_separate_tag(aad, in_out.as_mut())
    .map(|tag| in_out.extend(tag.as_ref()))

The Nonce used for the operation is randomly generated, and returned to the caller.

Errors

error::Unspecified if encryption operation fails.

pub fn seal_in_place_separate_tag<A>( &self, aad: Aad<A>, in_out: &mut [u8], ) -> Result<(Nonce, Tag), Unspecified>

where A: AsRef<[u8]>,

Encrypts and signs (“seals”) data in place.

aad is the additional authenticated data (AAD), if any. This is authenticated but not encrypted. The type A could be a byte slice &[u8], a byte array [u8; N] for some constant N, Vec<u8>, etc. If there is no AAD then use Aad::empty().

The plaintext is given as the input value of in_out. seal_in_place() will overwrite the plaintext with the ciphertext and return the tag. For most protocols, the caller must append the tag to the ciphertext. The tag will be self.algorithm.tag_len() bytes long.

The Nonce used for the operation is randomly generated, and returned to the caller.

Errors

error::Unspecified if encryption operation fails.

pub fn algorithm(&self) -> &'static Algorithm

The key’s AEAD algorithm.
