1//! Proxy Re-Encryption for delegated decryption.
2//!
3//! This module implements a proxy re-encryption scheme that allows
4//! a proxy to transform a ciphertext encrypted under one public key
5//! into a ciphertext encrypted under another public key, without
6//! learning the plaintext or the secret keys.
7//!
8//! # Use Cases for CHIE Protocol
9//! - Content owners delegating access to others
10//! - Revocable access control without re-encryption
11//! - Efficient content sharing in P2P networks
12//! - Privacy-preserving content distribution
13//!
14//! # Example
15//! ```
16//! use chie_crypto::proxy_re::*;
17//!
18//! // Alice generates her keypair
19//! let alice_keypair = ProxyReKeypair::generate();
20//!
21//! // Bob generates his keypair
22//! let bob_keypair = ProxyReKeypair::generate();
23//!
24//! // Alice encrypts data
25//! let plaintext = b"Secret content";
26//! let ciphertext = alice_keypair.encrypt(plaintext).unwrap();
27//!
28//! // Alice can decrypt
29//! let decrypted = alice_keypair.decrypt(&ciphertext).unwrap();
30//! assert_eq!(decrypted, plaintext);
31//!
32//! // Alice generates a re-encryption key for Bob
33//! let re_key = alice_keypair.generate_re_key(&bob_keypair.public_key());
34//!
35//! // Proxy re-encrypts the ciphertext for Bob (without learning plaintext)
36//! let re_encrypted = re_encrypt(&ciphertext, &re_key).unwrap();
37//!
38//! // Bob decrypts the outer layer to recover the original ciphertext
39//! let outer_decrypted = bob_keypair.decrypt(&re_encrypted).unwrap();
40//! let inner_ciphertext: ProxyReCiphertext = crate::codec::decode(&outer_decrypted).unwrap();
41//!
42//! // Alice can decrypt the inner ciphertext to get the plaintext
43//! let final_plaintext = alice_keypair.decrypt(&inner_ciphertext).unwrap();
44//! assert_eq!(final_plaintext, plaintext);
45//! ```
