//! Timelock Encryption (TLE) over BLS12-381.
//!
//! This crate implements Timelock Encryption (TLE) over BLS12-381 using
//! Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) with the Boneh-Franklin scheme. TLE enables
//! encrypting messages that can only be decrypted when a valid signature over
//! a specific target (e.g., timestamp or round number) becomes available.
//!
//! # Security
//!
//! To achieve CCA-security (resistance against chosen-ciphertext attacks), this
//! implementation employs the Fujisaki-Okamoto transform, which converts the
//! underlying CPA-secure IBE scheme into a CCA-secure scheme through:
//!
//! * Deriving encryption randomness deterministically from the message and a
//!   random value (sigma)
//! * Including integrity checks to detect ciphertext tampering
//!
//! # Architecture
//!
//! The encryption process involves (for [crate::bls12381::primitives::variant::MinPk]):
//! 1. Generating a random sigma value
//! 2. Deriving encryption randomness r = H3(sigma || message)
//! 3. Computing the ciphertext components:
//!    - U = r * G (commitment in G1)
//!    - V = sigma ⊕ H2(e(r * P_pub, Q_id)) (masked random value)
//!    - W = M ⊕ H4(sigma) (masked message)
//!
//! Where Q_id = H1(target) maps the target to a point in G2.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! _It is recommended to use a threshold signature scheme to generate decrypting
//! signatures in production (where no single party owns the private key)._
//!
//! ```rust
//! use commonware_cryptography::bls12381::{
//!     tle::{encrypt, decrypt, Block},
//!     primitives::{
//!         ops::{keypair, sign_message},
//!         variant::MinPk,
//!     },
//! };
//! use rand::rngs::OsRng;
//!
//! // Generate keypair
//! let (master_secret, master_public) = keypair::<_, MinPk>(&mut OsRng);
//!
//! // Define a target (e.g., a timestamp or round number)
//! let target = 12345u64.to_be_bytes();
//!
//! // Create a 32-byte message
//! let message_bytes = b"This is a secret message 32bytes";
//! let message = Block::new(*message_bytes);
//!
//! // Encrypt the message for the target
//! let ciphertext = encrypt::<_, MinPk>(
//!     &mut OsRng,
//!     master_public,
//!     (None, &target),
//!     &message,
//! );
//!
//! // Later, when someone has a signature over the target...
//! let signature = sign_message::<MinPk>(&master_secret, None, &target);
//!
//! // They can decrypt the message
//! let decrypted = decrypt::<MinPk>(&signature, &ciphertext)
//!     .expect("Decryption should succeed with valid signature");
//!
//! assert_eq!(message.as_ref(), decrypted.as_ref());
//! ```
