Adding Serde Macro Support For Public Key / Private Key / Signature Structs about pqcrypto HOT 6 CLOSED

I will see if I have some time to get to it this week; in the mean time I would be open to pull requests.

Unfortunately, it seems it's not trivial as derive(Serialize, Deserialize) doesn't work for arbitrary-sized arrays in Rust.

error[E0277]: the trait bound `[u8; 690]: Deserialize<'_>` is not satisfied

   |                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `Deserialize<'_>` is not implemented for `[u8; 690]`

I will have to look into workarounds.

That should be very possible. I'm not sure if I will have time to do this soon myself, but a pull request would be welcome: you would need to patch the pqcrypto-template/scheme directory files as those are used to generate the rest.

Hi, any updates on serde implementation or whether you can do it? I am working on a project that needs serialization.

Awesome

You may be interested in the ops crate by the way, which already has serde support
