net.SslKey¶
Represents a public or private key used by an SSL socket or server.
Properties¶
SslKey.null -> bool¶
Read only. True if the key was not loaded successfully.
SslKey.type¶
Read only. The key type.
Type |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
0 |
The key is public. |
|
1 |
The key is private. |
SslKey.algorithm¶
Read only. The key algorithm.
Algorithm |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
0 |
The RSA algorithm. |
|
1 |
The DSA algorithm. |
|
2 |
The Elliptic Curve algorithm. |
Methods¶
SslKey.new(encoded_key, algorithm, format, type) -> SslKey¶
Creates a new SslKey from the string encoded_key.
encoded_key is an encoded public or private key whose encoding must match format.
algorithm specifies the key algorithm. It must be specified as one of SslKey.RSA, SslKey.DSA or SslKey.EC.
format can be one of the values in net.SslEncoding. If not given, net.SslEncoding.PEM is assumed.
type can be either SslKey.PUBLIC or SslKey.PRIVATE. If not given, SslKey.PRIVATE is assumed.
