pub struct Key<T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
A Key
in the DHT keyspace with preserved preimage.
Keys in the DHT keyspace identify both the participating nodes, as well as the records stored in the DHT.
Key
s have an XOR metric as defined in the Kademlia paper, i.e. the bitwise XOR of
the hash digests, interpreted as an integer. See Key::distance
.
Implementations
sourceimpl<T> Key<T>
impl<T> Key<T>
sourcepub fn new(preimage: T) -> Key<T> where
T: Borrow<[u8]>,
pub fn new(preimage: T) -> Key<T> where
T: Borrow<[u8]>,
Constructs a new Key
by running the given value through a random
oracle.
The preimage of type T
is preserved. See Key::preimage
and
Key::into_preimage
.
sourcepub fn into_preimage(self) -> T
pub fn into_preimage(self) -> T
Converts the key into its preimage.
sourcepub fn distance<U>(&self, other: &U) -> Distance where
U: AsRef<KeyBytes>,
pub fn distance<U>(&self, other: &U) -> Distance where
U: AsRef<KeyBytes>,
Computes the distance of the keys according to the XOR metric.
sourcepub fn for_distance(&self, d: Distance) -> KeyBytes
pub fn for_distance(&self, d: Distance) -> KeyBytes
Returns the uniquely determined key with the given distance to self
.
This implements the following equivalence:
self xor other = distance <==> other = self xor distance
