//! Polynomial commitments for efficient batch verification.
//!
//! This module provides a polynomial commitment scheme based on Pedersen commitments.
//! It allows committing to a polynomial and later proving evaluations at specific points
//! without revealing the polynomial itself.
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! - Commit to polynomials of arbitrary degree
//! - Prove evaluations at specific points
//! - Batch verification of multiple evaluations
//! - Based on discrete log assumption (no pairings needed)
//!
//! # Use Cases in CHIE Protocol
//!
//! - Efficient chunk verification
//! - Batch proof of content possession
//! - Merkle tree alternatives for large datasets
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use chie_crypto::polycommit::{PolyCommitParams, commit_polynomial, prove_evaluation, verify_evaluation};
//! use curve25519_dalek::scalar::Scalar;
//!
//! // Setup parameters for polynomials up to degree 10
//! let params = PolyCommitParams::new(10);
//!
//! // Commit to polynomial f(x) = 1 + 2x + 3x^2
//! let coefficients = vec![
//!     Scalar::from(1u64),
//!     Scalar::from(2u64),
//!     Scalar::from(3u64),
//! ];
//! let (commitment, blinding) = commit_polynomial(&params, &coefficients).unwrap();
//!
//! // Prove evaluation at x=5
//! let eval_point = Scalar::from(5u64);
//! let proof = prove_evaluation(&params, &coefficients, &blinding, eval_point).unwrap();
//!
//! // Verify the proof
//! assert!(verify_evaluation(&params, &commitment, eval_point, &proof).is_ok());
//! ```
