Struct NodeIdentity 

pub struct NodeIdentity {
    pub public: PublicIdentity,
    /* private fields */
}

The identity a running mesh signs with: the public half plus the signing key.

Fields

public: PublicIdentity

The public half, as an advertisement carries it.

Implementations

impl NodeIdentity

pub fn load_or_create(path: &Path) -> Result<Self, MeshError>

Load the identity at path, creating it (directories included) when absent. A malformed file is an error, never silently replaced: an identity is the one thing a node must not lose by accident.

pub fn ephemeral() -> Result<Self, MeshError>

A throwaway identity that touches no disk: what the self-check and tests sign with. Never a node’s real identity — nothing persists it.

pub fn sign(&self, message: &[u8]) -> String

Sign a message with this node’s key.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for NodeIdentity

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
