SymmetricKey
A symmetric cryptographic key.
SymmetricKeys.swift:66struct SymmetricKeyYou typically derive a symmetric key from an instance of a shared secret (SharedSecret) that you obtain through key agreement. You use a symmetric key to compute a message authentication code like HMAC, or to open and close a sealed box (SealedBox or SealedBox) using a cipher like ChaChaPoly or AES.

Conformances
protocol ContiguousBytesIndicates that the conforming type is a contiguous collection of raw bytes whose underlying storage is directly accessible by withUnsafeBytes.
protocol CopyableA type whose values can be implicitly or explicitly copied.
protocol EquatableA type that can be compared for value equality.
protocol Escapable
Type members
init<D>(data: D) Creates a key from the given data.
init(size: SymmetricKeySize) Generates a new random key of the given size.
static func == (lhs: `Self`, rhs: `Self`) -> Bool
Instance members
var bitCount: IntThe number of bits in the key.
func withUnsafeBytes<R>((UnsafeRawBufferPointer) throws -> R) rethrows -> R Invokes the given closure with a buffer pointer covering the raw bytes of the key.
Type features
static func != (lhs: Self, rhs: Self) -> Bool Returns a Boolean value indicating whether two values are not equal.
