Type Alias SignatureError

pub type SignatureError = Error;

Errors which may occur while processing signatures and keypairs.

This error may arise due to:

• Being given bytes with a length different to what was expected.

• A problem decompressing r, a curve point, in the Signature, or the curve point for a PublicKey.

• A problem with the format of s, a scalar, in the Signature. This is only raised if the high-bit of the scalar was set. (Scalars must only be constructed from 255-bit integers.)

• Failure of a signature to satisfy the verification equation.

Aliased Type

struct SignatureError { /* private fields */ }

Implementations

impl Error

pub fn new() -> Error

Create a new error with no associated source

pub fn from_source(source: impl Into<Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>>) -> Error

Create a new error with an associated source.

NOTE: The “source” should NOT be used to propagate cryptographic errors e.g. signature parsing or verification errors. The intended use cases are for propagating errors related to external signers, e.g. communication/authentication errors with HSMs, KMS, etc.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Error

fn default() -> Error

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Display for Error

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for Error

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0: use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0: replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)

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

Provides type-based access to context intended for error reports.

impl From<Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>> for Error

fn from(source: Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>) -> Error

Converts to this type from the input type.
