key: 'key' vector

In shunsambongi/vault: Locally store encrypted secrets

Description

This creates a character vector that represents keys that can be used to encrypt/decrypt a secret. Usually, you will only need a single key at a time. A key is similar to a secret(), but is stricter with what values are allowed. Currently, this checks that the input is a character vector with only hexadecimal characters, and has 64 characters total. This represents a 32-byte binary key.

Usage

key(x = character())

is_key(x)

as_key(x)

Arguments

x	For key(): A hexadecimal character vector where all(nchar(x) == 64) For is_key(): An object to test For as_key(): An object to cast

Value

An S3 vector of class vault_key
