Functions

func RegisterHash

func RegisterHash(h Hash, f func() hash.Hash)

RegisterHash registers a function that returns a new instance of the given hash function. This is intended to be called from the init function in packages that implement hash functions.

Types

type Decrypter

type Decrypter interface {
	// Public returns the public key corresponding to the opaque,
	// private key.
	Public() PublicKey

	// Decrypt decrypts msg. The opts argument should be appropriate for
	// the primitive used. See the documentation in each implementation for
	// details.
	Decrypt(rand io.Reader, msg []byte, opts DecrypterOpts) (plaintext []byte, err error)
}

Decrypter is an interface for an opaque private key that can be used for asymmetric decryption operations. An example would be an RSA key kept in a hardware module.

type DecrypterOpts

type DecrypterOpts any

type Hash

type Hash uint

Hash identifies a cryptographic hash function that is implemented in another package.

	MD4         Hash = 1 + iota // import golang.org/x/crypto/md4
	MD5                         // import crypto/md5

)

func (Hash) Available

func (h Hash) Available() bool

Available reports whether the given hash function is linked into the binary.

func (Hash) HashFunc

func (h Hash) HashFunc() Hash

HashFunc simply returns the value of h so that Hash implements SignerOpts.

func (Hash) New

func (h Hash) New() hash.Hash

New returns a new hash.Hash calculating the given hash function. New panics if the hash function is not linked into the binary.

func (Hash) Size

func (h Hash) Size() int

Size returns the length, in bytes, of a digest resulting from the given hash function. It doesn't require that the hash function in question be linked into the program.

func (Hash) String

func (h Hash) String() string

type PrivateKey

type PrivateKey any

PrivateKey represents a private key using an unspecified algorithm.

Although this type is an empty interface for backwards compatibility reasons, all private key types in the standard library implement the following interface

interface{
    Public() crypto.PublicKey
    Equal(x crypto.PrivateKey) bool
}

as well as purpose-specific interfaces such as Signer and Decrypter, which can be used for increased type safety within applications.

type PublicKey

type PublicKey any

PublicKey represents a public key using an unspecified algorithm.

Although this type is an empty interface for backwards compatibility reasons, all public key types in the standard library implement the following interface

interface{
    Equal(x crypto.PublicKey) bool
}

which can be used for increased type safety within applications.

type Signer

type Signer interface {
	// Public returns the public key corresponding to the opaque,
	// private key.
	Public() PublicKey

	// Sign signs digest with the private key, possibly using entropy from
	// rand. For an RSA key, the resulting signature should be either a
	// PKCS #1 v1.5 or PSS signature (as indicated by opts). For an (EC)DSA
	// key, it should be a DER-serialised, ASN.1 signature structure.
	//
	// Hash implements the SignerOpts interface and, in most cases, one can
	// simply pass in the hash function used as opts. Sign may also attempt
	// to type assert opts to other types in order to obtain algorithm
	// specific values. See the documentation in each package for details.
	//
	// Note that when a signature of a hash of a larger message is needed,
	// the caller is responsible for hashing the larger message and passing
	// the hash (as digest) and the hash function (as opts) to Sign.
	Sign(rand io.Reader, digest []byte, opts SignerOpts) (signature []byte, err error)
}

Signer is an interface for an opaque private key that can be used for signing operations. For example, an RSA key kept in a hardware module.

type SignerOpts

type SignerOpts interface {
	// HashFunc returns an identifier for the hash function used to produce
	// the message passed to Signer.Sign, or else zero to indicate that no
	// hashing was done.
	HashFunc() Hash
}

SignerOpts contains options for signing with a Signer.
