Struct AeadKey 

pub struct AeadKey {
    pub data: Vec<u8>,
}

AEAD key.

Zeroization

With the alloc feature, the key bytes in data are zeroized when the value is dropped (#[derive(ZeroizeOnDrop)]), and can be wiped earlier by calling [Zeroize::zeroize]. This is best-effort and covers only the current allocation:

• If the Vec has ever reallocated (growth, shrink_to_fit), earlier copies of its contents may remain elsewhere on the heap; the wipe cannot reach them. Construct keys with their final contents and do not grow data.
• data is a public field: moving the buffer out (for example with core::mem::take(&mut key.data)) transfers ownership of the secret bytes — and responsibility for wiping them — to the caller.
• Copies made through accessors (for example as_bytes) are outside the scope of this wipe.
• Without the alloc feature, data is a borrowed &'static [u8] and is deliberately not zeroized: the borrow is not this type’s to wipe.

Fields

data: Vec<u8>

Implementations

impl AeadKey

pub fn new(data: Vec<u8>) -> Self

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Trait Implementations

impl Drop for AeadKey

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

fn pin_drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pin_ergonomics)

Execute the destructor for this type, but different to Drop::drop, it requires self to be pinned.

impl Zeroize for AeadKey

Available on crate feature alloc only.

fn zeroize(&mut self)

Zero out this object from memory using Rust intrinsics which ensure the zeroization operation is not “optimized away” by the compiler.
