Struct indy_crypto::bls::Generator

pub struct Generator { /* fields omitted */ }

BLS generator point. BLS algorithm requires choosing of generator point that must be known to all parties. The most of BLS methods require generator to be provided.

Methods

impl Generator

pub fn new() -> IndyCryptoResult<Generator>

Creates and returns random generator point that satisfy BLS algorithm requirements.

Example

use indy_crypto::bls::Generator;
Generator::new().unwrap();

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns BLS generator point bytes representation.

Example

use indy_crypto::bls::*;
let gen = Generator::new().unwrap();
let gen_bytes = gen.as_bytes();
assert!(gen_bytes.len() > 0);

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> IndyCryptoResult<Generator>

Creates and returns generator point from bytes representation.

Example

use indy_crypto::bls::Generator;
let gen = Generator::new().unwrap();
let gen_bytes = gen.as_bytes();
Generator::from_bytes(gen_bytes).unwrap();
