PublicKeyInterface

type PublicKeyInterface​

Enum of valid public keys for the signature schemes supported by IOTA.

BCS​

The BCS serialized form for this type is defined by the following ABNF:

```text public-key = %d00 ed25519-public-key / %d01 secp256k1-public-key / %d02 secp256r1-public-key / %d04 passkey-public-key ```

The gap in the flag values is intentional, as not all signature scheme support public keys.

There is also a base64 encoding for this type defined as:

```text base64-public-key = string ; which is valid base64 encoded ; and the decoded bytes are defined ; by flagged-public-key flagged-public-key = (ed25519-flag ed25519-public-key) / (secp256k1-flag secp256k1-public-key) / (secp256r1-flag secp256r1-public-key) / (passkey-flag passkey-public-key) ```
