Struct bitcoin::util::key::PublicKey

pub struct PublicKey {
    pub compressed: bool,
    pub key: PublicKey,
}

A Bitcoin ECDSA public key

Fields

compressed: bool

Whether this public key should be serialized as compressed

key: PublicKey

The actual ECDSA key

Methods

impl PublicKey

pub fn pubkey_hash(&self) -> PubkeyHash

Returns bitcoin 160-bit hash of the public key

pub fn wpubkey_hash(&self) -> Option<WPubkeyHash>

Returns bitcoin 160-bit hash of the public key for witness program

pub fn write_into<W: Write>(&self, writer: W) -> Result<(), Error>

Write the public key into a writer

pub fn read_from<R: Read>(reader: R) -> Result<Self, Error>

Read the public key from a reader

This internally reads the first byte before reading the rest, so use of a BufReader is recommended.

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize the public key to bytes

pub fn from_slice(data: &[u8]) -> Result<PublicKey, Error>

Deserialize a public key from a slice

pub fn from_private_key<C: Signing>(
    secp: &Secp256k1<C>,
    sk: &PrivateKey
) -> PublicKey

Computes the public key as supposed to be used with this secret

Trait Implementations

impl Serialize for PublicKey

fn serialize(&self) -> Vec<u8>

Serialize a value as raw data.

impl Deserialize for PublicKey

fn deserialize(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Error>

Deserialize a value from raw data.

impl Ord for PublicKey

fn cmp(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (clamp)

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialOrd<PublicKey> for PublicKey

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> bool

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> bool

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> bool

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> bool

This method tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Clone for PublicKey

fn clone(&self) -> PublicKey

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl PartialEq<PublicKey> for PublicKey

fn eq(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &PublicKey) -> bool

This method tests for !=.

impl Eq for PublicKey

impl Copy for PublicKey

impl Display for PublicKey

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Debug for PublicKey

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for PublicKey

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given [Hasher].

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H) where
    H: Hasher, 

Feeds a slice of this type into the given [Hasher].

impl FromStr for PublicKey

type Err = Error

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<PublicKey, Error>

Parses a string s to return a value of this type.
