struct · iOS 13.0+ · SDK 27.1

struct PrivateKey

A P-521 private key used to create cryptographic signatures.

Members (11)

get · iOS 13.0+

publicKey

TypeScript

get publicKey(): P521_Signing_PublicKey

Swift declaration

var publicKey: P521.Signing.PublicKey { get }

The corresponding public key.

get · iOS 14.0+

derRepresentation

TypeScript

get derRepresentation(): ArrayBuffer

Swift declaration

var derRepresentation: Data { get }

A Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) encoded representation of the private key.

init · iOS 14.0+

init

TypeScript

static initDerRepresentation(derRepresentation: Array<number>): P521_Signing_PrivateKey

Swift declaration

init<Bytes>(derRepresentation: Bytes) throws where Bytes : RandomAccessCollection, Bytes.Element == UInt8

Creates a P-521 private key for signing from a Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) encoded representation. - Parameters: - derRepresentation: A DER-encoded representation of the key.

init · iOS 14.0+

init

TypeScript

static initPemRepresentation(pemRepresentation: string): P521_Signing_PrivateKey

Swift declaration

init(pemRepresentation: String) throws

Creates a P-521 private key for signing from a Privacy-Enhanced Mail PEM) representation. - Parameters: - pemRepresentation: A PEM representation of the key.

get · iOS 14.0+

pemRepresentation

TypeScript

get pemRepresentation(): string

Swift declaration

var pemRepresentation: String { get }

A Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) representation of the private key.

get · iOS 13.0+

rawRepresentation

TypeScript

get rawRepresentation(): ArrayBuffer

Swift declaration

var rawRepresentation: Data { get }

A data representation of the private key.

init · iOS 13.0+

init

TypeScript

static initRawRepresentation(rawRepresentation: ArrayBuffer): P521_Signing_PrivateKey

Swift declaration

init<Bytes>(rawRepresentation: Bytes) throws where Bytes : ContiguousBytes

Creates a P-521 private key for signing from a collection of bytes. - Parameters: - rawRepresentation: A raw representation of the key as a collection of contiguous bytes.

get · iOS 13.0+

x963Representation

TypeScript

get x963Representation(): ArrayBuffer

Swift declaration

var x963Representation: Data { get }

An ANSI x9.63 representation of the private key.

init · iOS 13.0+

init

TypeScript

static initX963Representation(x963Representation: ArrayBuffer): P521_Signing_PrivateKey

Swift declaration

init<Bytes>(x963Representation: Bytes) throws where Bytes : ContiguousBytes

Creates a P-521 private key for signing from an ANSI x9.63 representation. - Parameters: - x963Representation: An ANSI x9.63 representation of the key.

init · iOS 13.0+

init

TypeScript

static initCompactRepresentable(compactRepresentable?: boolean): P521_Signing_PrivateKey

Swift declaration

init(compactRepresentable: Bool = true)

Creates a random P-521 private key for signing. Keys that use a compact point encoding enable shorter public keys, but aren’t compliant with FIPS certification. If your app requires FIPS certification, create a key with ``init(rawRepresentation:)``. - Parameters: - compactRepresentable: A Boolean value that indicates whether CryptoKit creates the key with the structure to enable compact point encoding.

method · iOS 13.0+

signature

TypeScript

signature(data: ArrayBuffer): P521_Signing_ECDSASignature

Swift declaration

func signature<D>(for data: D) throws -> P521.Signing.ECDSASignature where D : DataProtocol

Generates an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) signature of the data you provide over the P-521 elliptic curve, using SHA-512 as the hash function. - Parameters: - data: The data to sign. - Returns: The signature corresponding to the data. The signing algorithm employs randomization to generate a different signature on every call, even for the same data and key.
