Module timelock 

Time-lock encryption for scheduled content release.

This module provides time-lock encryption that allows encrypting content that can only be decrypted after a certain time period. This is useful for:

• Scheduled content release in P2P networks
• Fair exchange protocols
• Delayed disclosure mechanisms

Example

use chie_crypto::timelock::{timelock_encrypt, timelock_decrypt, TimeParams};

// Encrypt data that requires 100,000 sequential hash operations to decrypt
let data = b"Secret content to be released in the future";
let params = TimeParams::new(100_000);
let locked = timelock_encrypt(data, &params).unwrap();

// Decrypt (requires performing the time-lock computation)
let decrypted = timelock_decrypt(&locked).unwrap();
assert_eq!(data, &decrypted[..]);

Structs
