OnionKeySpec.providedV3(_:)

Re-adopt a previously-registered v3 service by its private key.

case providedV3(String)

Parameters

key: The ED25519-V3 private key in Tor’s base64-encoded expanded-secret form (rend-spec-v3 §2.5).

Mentioned In

Using the Tor Control Protocol

Discussion

Corresponds to ADD_ONION ED25519-V3:<key> in control-spec.txt §3.27. The blob must be exactly the string Tor handed back in an earlier ADD_ONION reply or via GETINFO onions/current.

Important

Treat the key as a secret. Persisting it to disk or logs compromises the onion identity; use Keychain on Apple platforms.
