This is an implementation of [LNPBP-4] multi-commitment standard and [LNPBP-9] 
standard, defining to cryptographic commitment schemes used in 
client-side-validation. It is a part of more generic [`client_side_validation`] 
library covering other client-side-validation standards.

Client-side-validation is a paradigm for distributed computing, based on top of
proof-of-publication/commitment medium layer, which may be a bitcoin blockchain
or other type of distributed consensus system.

The development of the library is supported by [LNP/BP Standards Association](https://lnp-bp.org).


## Documentation

Detailed developer & API documentation for the library can be accessed
at <https://docs.rs/commit_verify/>

To learn about the technologies enabled by the library please check
[slides from our tech presentations](https://github.com/LNP-BP/FAQ/blob/master/Presentation%20slides/)
and [LNP/BP tech talks videos](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK_Q3xcQ-H3ERwArGaMKsxg)


## Usage

To use the library, you just need to reference a latest version, in
`[dependencies]` section of your project `Cargo.toml`.

```toml
commit_verify = "1"
```

If you are using other client-side-validation libraries, consider importing
just a single [`client_side_validation`] library which re-exports all of them,
including the current one.

The library has just a two feature flags, both of which are not used by default:
- `rand`, providing support for generating random 32-byte sequences of `Slice32`
  type, used in many LNP/BP applications (for instance as hash-lock preimages or
  during LNPBP-4 multi-commitments)
- `serde`, providing support for data structure serialization with serde across
  the library
