Struct secrecy::Secret

pub struct Secret<S> where
    S: Zeroize,  { /* fields omitted */ }

Wrapper type for values that contains secrets, which attempts to limit accidental exposure and ensure secrets are wiped from memory when dropped. (e.g. passwords, cryptographic keys, access tokens or other credentials)

Access to the secret inner value occurs through the ExposeSecret trait, which provides an expose_secret() method for accessing the inner secret value.

Implementations

impl<S> Secret<S> where
    S: Zeroize, 

pub fn new(secret: S) -> Self

Take ownership of a secret value

Trait Implementations

impl<S> Clone for Secret<S> where
    S: CloneableSecret, 

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<S> Debug for Secret<S> where
    S: Zeroize + DebugSecret, 

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<S> Drop for Secret<S> where
    S: Zeroize, 

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl<S> ExposeSecret<S> for Secret<S> where
    S: Zeroize, 

fn expose_secret(&self) -> &S

Expose secret: this is the only method providing access to a secret.
