libsodium.PKI.EncryptionKey.Operator_Compare

libsodium.PKI.EncryptionKey.Operator_Compare

Method Signature

Function Operator_Compare(OtherKey As libsodium.PKI.EncryptionKey) As Integer

Parameters

Name	Type	Comment
OtherKey	EncryptionKey	The key to compare to Self.

Return value

This method returns 0 if OtherKey and Self are identical.

Remarks

This method overloads the comparison operator (=) allowing direct comparisons between instances of EncryptionKey.

The comparison operation itself is a constant-time binary comparison of the private key halves of both key pairs; the public halves are not compared.

If libsodium is not available at runtime, a PlatformNotSupportedException will be raised.
