Module jormungandr_lib::crypto

This module provides wrapper around the different cryptographic objects used in jormungandr, the jcli and the tests

Hash

The Hash is a Blake2b256. It is used to identify a block, a transaction, a fragment, a Node Id. The type used here provides a consistent API for user interaction with a Hash. Which ever be its purpose.

Signing and Identifier keys

This is a very generic type wrapper around chain-crypto secret and public keys. It provides the appropriate serialization format for human readable interfaces depending on the purpose.

In a human readable serializer for serde (like serde_yaml or serde_json) it will give a bech32 encoding. But utilising Display will provide an hexadecimal encoding version of the key.

Account keys

The proper type for the account management and interfaces. It provides the same interfaces as for the identifier in the key module but limited to Account only.
