pub struct EcdsaKeyPair { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

An ECDSA key pair, used for signing.

Implementations

Generates a new key pair and returns the key pair serialized as a PKCS#8 document.

The PKCS#8 document will be a v1 OneAsymmetricKey with the public key included in the ECPrivateKey structure, as described in RFC 5958 Section 2 and RFC 5915. The ECPrivateKey structure will not have a parameters field so the generated key is compatible with PKCS#11.

Constructs an ECDSA key pair by parsing an unencrypted PKCS#8 v1 id-ecPublicKey ECPrivateKey key.

The input must be in PKCS#8 v1 format. It must contain the public key in the ECPrivateKey structure; from_pkcs8() will verify that the public key and the private key are consistent with each other. The algorithm identifier must identify the curve by name; it must not use an “explicit” encoding of the curve. The parameters field of the ECPrivateKey, if present, must be the same named curve that is in the algorithm identifier in the PKCS#8 header.

Constructs an ECDSA key pair from the private key and public key bytes

The private key must encoded as a big-endian fixed-length integer. For example, a P-256 private key must be 32 bytes prefixed with leading zeros as needed.

The public key is encoding in uncompressed form using the Octet-String-to-Elliptic-Curve-Point algorithm in SEC 1: Elliptic Curve Cryptography, Version 2.0.

This is intended for use by code that deserializes key pairs. It is recommended to use EcdsaKeyPair::from_pkcs8() (with a PKCS#8-encoded key) instead.

Deprecated. Returns the signature of the message using a random nonce generated by rng.
