inherence-verifier 0.1.0

Reference verifier for Inherence receipts (verification protocol v1).
Documentation
//! SPEC §6.7 — public-inputs serialization (Fr encoding).
//!
//! This module is the load-bearing interop point between issuers and
//! verifiers across languages. Any deviation here causes silent
//! verification failures elsewhere. The procedure mirrors the
//! Python SDK's `inherence.binding` and the issuer's encoding inside
//! `zk_compiler::zk::binding_hash_to_fr`.
