Functions

algorithmIdentifier AlgorithmIdentifier algorithmIdentifier()
checkKey bool checkKey(RandomNumberGenerator rng, bool strong): Test the key values for consistency.
estimatedStrength size_t estimatedStrength(): Return the estimated strength of the underlying key against the best currently known attack. Note that this ignores anything but pure attacks against the key itself and do not take into account padding schemes, usage mistakes, etc which might reduce the strength. However it does suffice to provide an upper bound.
getOid OID getOid(): Get the OID of the underlying public key scheme.
loadCheck void loadCheck(RandomNumberGenerator rng): Self-test after loading a key
maxInputBits size_t maxInputBits(): Get the maximum message size in bits supported by this public key.
messagePartSize size_t messagePartSize(): Find out the message part size supported by this scheme/key.
messageParts size_t messageParts(): Find out the number of message parts supported by this scheme.
x509SubjectPublicKey Vector!ubyte x509SubjectPublicKey()

Properties

algoName string algoName [@property getter]: Get the name of the underlying public key scheme.
