Struct Identity 

pub struct Identity(/* private fields */);

A cryptographic identity.

An identity is an X509 certificate along with its corresponding private key and chain of certificates to a trusted root.

Implementations

impl Identity

pub fn from_pkcs12(der: &[u8], password: &str) -> Result<Identity, Error>

Parses a DER-formatted PKCS #12 archive, using the specified password to decrypt the key.

The archive should contain a leaf certificate and its private key, as well any intermediate certificates that should be sent to clients to allow them to build a chain to a trusted root. The chain certificates should be in order from the leaf certificate towards the root.

PKCS #12 archives typically have the file extension .p12 or .pfx, and can be created with the OpenSSL pkcs12 tool:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out identity.pfx -inkey key.pem -in cert.pem -certfile chain_certs.pem

pub fn from_pkcs8(pem: &[u8], key: &[u8]) -> Result<Identity, Error>

Parses a chain of PEM encoded X509 certificates, with the leaf certificate first. key is a PEM encoded PKCS #8 formatted private key for the leaf certificate.

The certificate chain should contain any intermediate cerficates that should be sent to clients to allow them to build a chain to a trusted root.

A certificate chain here means a series of PEM encoded certificates concatenated together.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Identity

fn clone(&self) -> Identity

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
