• Variables
• func Check(homeDir, seckey string) error
• func Load(c *hashchain.HashChain, homeDir, filename string) (*[64]byte, *[64]byte, []byte, error)
• func Read(filename string) (*[64]byte, *[64]byte, []byte, error)

Variables

var TestPass string

TestPass is a passphrase used for testing purposes. Do not set!

Functions

func Check

func Check(homeDir, seckey string) error

Check that the file seckey exists, if it is given. Otherwise make sure that at least the secrets subdirectory of homeDir exists.

func Load

func Load(c *hashchain.HashChain, homeDir, filename string) (*[64]byte, *[64]byte, []byte, error)

Load loads secret from filename, if given. Otherwise it loads the secret corresponding to the signer in given hash chain and makes sure that only one such secret exists.

func Read

func Read(filename string) (*[64]byte, *[64]byte, []byte, error)

Read reads the secret key from given filename. It reads the the passphrase from the terminal. If the wrong passphrase is given, the function reads the passphrase again.
