Struct elliptic_curve::PublicKey

pub struct PublicKey<C>
where
    C: CurveArithmetic,
{ /* private fields */ }

Elliptic curve public keys.

This is a wrapper type for AffinePoint which ensures an inner non-identity point and provides a common place to handle encoding/decoding.

Parsing “SPKI” Keys

X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo (SPKI) is a commonly used format for encoding public keys, notably public keys corresponding to PKCS#8 private keys. (especially ones generated by OpenSSL).

Keys in SPKI format are either binary (ASN.1 BER/DER), or PEM encoded (ASCII) and begin with the following:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----

To decode an elliptic curve public key from SPKI, enable the pkcs8 feature of this crate (or the pkcs8 feature of a specific RustCrypto elliptic curve crate) and use the elliptic_curve::pkcs8::DecodePublicKey trait to parse it.

When the pem feature of this crate (or a specific RustCrypto elliptic curve crate) is enabled, a [FromStr] impl is also available.

serde support

When the optional serde feature of this create is enabled, Serialize and Deserialize impls are provided for this type.

The serialization is binary-oriented and supports ASN.1 DER Subject Public Key Info (SPKI) as the encoding format.

For a more text-friendly encoding of public keys, use [JwkEcKey] instead.
