Cannot Access The Structs Public Key, Private Key For SPHINCS+ about pqcrypto HOT 3 CLOSED

What have you tried? This is perfectly possible – you might want to import pqcrypto-traits::prelude::*

from pqcrypto.

I got it to work. I look at the pqcrypto-traits crate like you suggested and found that it has as_bytes() and from_bytes(). Thank you for the help.

One last question. Whats the difference between the detached signature and the regular message signature?

from pqcrypto.

The "regular" crypto_sign follows the NIST api (which in turn follows the NaCl signature API). This means that it's a signed message, not just the signature. The reason for using this API is that crypto_sign_open will not return the message contents if the signature is invalid, meaning you won't be able to mistakenly continue processing it.

If you use the SignedMessage struct, don't also send the plain text: it's already included.
