Expand description

A cryptographic master key for use with Signed and/or Private jars.

This structure encapsulates secure, cryptographic keys for use with both PrivateJar and SignedJar. A single instance of a Key can be used for both a PrivateJar and a SignedJar simultaneously with no notable security implications.

Implementations

Creates a new Key from a 512-bit cryptographically random string.

The supplied key must be at least 512-bits (64 bytes). For security, the master key must be cryptographically random.

Panics

Panics if key is less than 64 bytes in length.

Example
use cookie::Key;

let key = { /* a cryptographically random key >= 64 bytes */ };

let key = Key::from(key);

Generates signing/encryption keys from a secure, random source. Keys are generated nondeterministically.

Panics

Panics if randomness cannot be retrieved from the operating system. See Key::try_generate() for a non-panicking version.

Example
use cookie::Key;

let key = Key::generate();

Attempts to generate signing/encryption keys from a secure, random source. Keys are generated nondeterministically. If randomness cannot be retrieved from the underlying operating system, returns None.

Example
use cookie::Key;

let key = Key::try_generate();

Returns the raw bytes of a key suitable for signing cookies. Guaranteed to be at least 32 bytes.

Example
use cookie::Key;

let key = Key::generate();
let signing_key = key.signing();

Returns the raw bytes of a key suitable for encrypting cookies. Guaranteed to be at least 32 bytes.

Example
use cookie::Key;

let key = Key::generate();
let encryption_key = key.encryption();

Returns the raw bytes of the master key. Guaranteed to be at least 64 bytes.

Example
use cookie::Key;

let key = Key::generate();
let master_key = key.master();
