Struct SecureElement

pub struct SecureElement { /* private fields */ }

The SecureElement is a specially hardened part of the MobilePhone which can create keypairs. However, the private key is inaccessible to the applications. An application can only request a signature from one of the private keys, but not access it directly. While this makes it much more secure, it makes it also much more difficult to create useful cryptographic algorithms.

Implementations

impl SecureElement

pub fn create_kp(&mut self) -> SEKeypair

Creates a new keypair and stores the private key in the internal Vec. It returns the key and an id.

pub fn sign(&self, id: usize, msg: VerifierMessage) -> Signature

Signs a message with the private key referenced by id. No checks are done to make sure this id exists or is tied to the current application.
