Available on crate feature dnssec only.

Expand description

PublicKeys implement the ability to ideally be zero copy abstractions over public keys for verifying signed content.

In DNS the KEY and DNSKEY types are generally the RData types which store public key material.

Required Methods§

Source

fn public_bytes(&self) -> &[u8] ⓘ

Returns the public bytes of the public key, in DNS format

Source

fn verify(&self, message: &[u8], signature: &[u8]) -> Result<(), ProtoError>

Verifies the hash matches the signature with the current key.

§Arguments

message - the message to be validated, see hash_rrset
signature - the signature to use to verify the hash, extracted from an RData::RRSIG for example.
