Struct FutureExtension 

pub struct FutureExtension<P: FieldParameters> { /* private fields */ }

Placeholder implementation for future cryptographic extensions.

This struct serves as a stub for cryptographic extensions that have not yet been implemented. It provides the basic structure and interface that future extensions will follow, allowing the API to be designed ahead of full implementation.

Type Parameters

• P: The field parameters defining the mathematical field for operations

Note

This is a placeholder that returns NotImplemented errors for all operations. Real extensions should implement meaningful cryptographic algorithms.

Implementations

impl<P: FieldParameters> FutureExtension<P>

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a new placeholder cryptographic extension.

This constructor initializes a stub extension that can be used as a placeholder until the actual cryptographic implementation is ready.

Returns

A new FutureExtension instance configured for the specified field parameters

Trait Implementations

impl<P: Clone + FieldParameters> Clone for FutureExtension<P>

fn clone(&self) -> FutureExtension<P>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<P: FieldParameters> CryptoExtension for FutureExtension<P>

Available on crate feature alloc only.

fn custom_operation(&self, _input: &[u8]) -> Result<Vec<u8>, MathError>

Placeholder implementation that always returns NotImplemented.

This method serves as a stub for future cryptographic operations. Real implementations should perform meaningful cryptographic computations on the input data using field arithmetic.

Arguments

• _input - Ignored input data (placeholder parameter)

Returns

Always returns Err(MathError::NotImplemented) as this is a placeholder

fn name(&self) -> &'static str

Returns the name identifier for this extension.

Returns

The static string “FutureExtension” identifying this placeholder implementation

type Params = P

The field parameters type for this extension.

fn is_available(&self) -> bool

Checks if this cryptographic extension is available and functional.

impl<P: Debug + FieldParameters> Debug for FutureExtension<P>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<P: FieldParameters> Default for FutureExtension<P>

Available on crate feature alloc only.

fn default() -> Self

Creates a default placeholder cryptographic extension.

This implementation allows FutureExtension to be used with Default::default(), providing a convenient way to create placeholder extensions.

Returns

A new FutureExtension instance equivalent to calling FutureExtension::new()
