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.

Keys 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

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.

Borrows the preimage of the key.

Converts the key into its preimage.

Computes the distance of the keys according to the XOR metric.

Returns the uniquely determined key with the given distance to self.

This implements the following equivalence:

self xor other = distance <==> other = self xor distance
