pub struct Nid(_);Expand description
A numerical identifier for an OpenSSL object.
Objects in OpenSSL can have a short name, a long name, and a numerical identifier (NID). For convenience, objects are usually represented in source code using these numeric identifiers.
Users should generally not need to create new Nids.
Examples
To view the integer representation of a Nid:
use openssl::nid::Nid;
assert!(Nid::AES_256_GCM.as_raw() == 901);External Documentation
The following documentation provides context about Nids and their usage
in OpenSSL.
Implementations§
source§impl Nid
impl Nid
sourcepub fn create(oid: &str, sn: &str, ln: &str) -> Result<Nid, ErrorStack>
pub fn create(oid: &str, sn: &str, ln: &str) -> Result<Nid, ErrorStack>
Creates a new Nid for the oid with short name sn and long name ln.
This corresponds to OBJ_create.
sourcepub fn signature_algorithms(&self) -> Option<SignatureAlgorithms>
pub fn signature_algorithms(&self) -> Option<SignatureAlgorithms>
Returns the Nids of the digest and public key algorithms associated with a signature ID.
This corresponds to OBJ_find_sigid_algs.
This corresponds to OBJ_find_sigid_algs.
sourcepub fn long_name(&self) -> Result<&'static str, ErrorStack>
pub fn long_name(&self) -> Result<&'static str, ErrorStack>
Returns the string representation of a Nid (long).
This corresponds to OBJ_nid2ln.
sourcepub fn short_name(&self) -> Result<&'static str, ErrorStack>
pub fn short_name(&self) -> Result<&'static str, ErrorStack>
Returns the string representation of a Nid (short).
This corresponds to OBJ_nid2sn.
