//! Verifiable Delay Function (VDF).
//!
//! A Wesolowski-style VDF: forces sequential computation (repeated
//! squaring) and produces a proof that the delay was executed.
//!
//! ## Protocol
//!
//! 1. Setup: pick RSA modulus N = p * q
//! 2. Eval: y = x^(2^T) mod N (requires T sequential squarings)
//! 3. Proof: π = x^⌊2^T / l⌋ mod N where l is a prime from hash(y, x)
//! 4. Verify: check y^l == x * π^l  (actually y^l ≡ x * π^l ... simplified)
