typedef PrivateKey

PrivateKey represents a private key using an unspecified algorithm.

Although this type is an empty interface for backwards compatibility reasons, all private key types in the standard library implement the following interface

interface{
    Public() crypto.PublicKey
    Equal(x crypto.PrivateKey) bool
}

as well as purpose-specific interfaces such as Signer and Decrypter, which can be used for increased type safety within applications.
