libsodium.PKI.SigningKey.Derive

libsodium.PKI.SigningKey.Derive

Method Signature

  Shared Function Derive(PrivateKeyData As MemoryBlock) As libsodium.PKI.SigningKey

Parameters

Name	Type	Comment
PrivateKeyData	MemoryBlock	The user's private key (exactly crypto_scalarmult_BYTES long).

Return value

An instance of SigningKey containing the derived key pair, or Nil on error.

Remarks

Given a user's private key, this method derives a SigningKey pair. The PrivateKeyData is assumed to be high-entropy and is used directly as the private key. As such DO NOT use this method to derive a key pair from low-entropy data like a password: use SigningKey.Constructor(Password) instead.
