//! Verifiable Random Function (VRF) โ€” ECVRF-P256-SHA256-TAI (RFC 9381).
//!
//! This is the NIST P-256 sibling of the Edwards25519 ECVRF in [`crate::vrf`].
//! It implements RFC 9381 ciphersuite octet [`ECVRF_P256_SHA256_TAI_SUITE`]
//! (`0x01`): the P-256 curve, SHA-256, and the *try-and-increment* (TAI)
//! hash-to-curve. It exists so that [`metamorphic-log`]'s KEYTRANS layer can
//! offer the **on-spec IETF `KT_128_SHA256_P256` cipher suite**
//! (`draft-ietf-keytrans-protocol`), whose VRF is defined as
//! ECVRF-P256-SHA256-TAI.
//!
//! ## Why a second curve
//!
//! The Edwards25519 ECVRF ([`crate::vrf`]) backs the experimental private
//! KEYTRANS suite and the `KT_128_SHA256_Ed25519` standard suite. The standard
//! `KT_128_SHA256_P256` suite instead mandates P-256, so full on-spec support
//! requires this construction. It is built on the `p256` RustCrypto crate (the
//! same `elliptic-curve` 0.14 generation as the crate's existing P-521 stack)
//! plus SHA-256 and RFC 6979 deterministic nonces โ€” no novel cryptography.
//! Correctness is pinned byte-for-byte by RFC 9381 Appendix B.1's known-answer
//! vectors (see the module tests), so independent implementations interoperate
//! exactly.
//!
//! ## Post-quantum posture (honest framing)
//!
//! Like [`crate::vrf`], this VRF is **classical** (elliptic-curve discrete log)
//! and protects exactly one property: KEYTRANS *index privacy*. Integrity,
//! authenticity, and the hash-based commitments are post-quantum and do not rely
//! on this VRF. These primitives are not FIPS-validated, and this crate makes no
//! such claim.
//!
//! ## Wire formats (stable โ€” reproduce exactly for cross-language parity)
//!
//! ```text
//! secret key  (SK) : 32 bytes   (the VRF secret scalar x, big-endian; x = SK)
//! public key  (Y)  : 33 bytes   (SEC1 point compression on; Y = x*B)
//! proof       (pi) : 81 bytes   = point_to_string(Gamma) (33)
//!                                || int_to_string(c, 16)  (16, big-endian)
//!                                || int_to_string(s, 32)  (32, big-endian)
//! output      (beta): 32 bytes  = SHA-256(0x01 || 0x03 || point_to_string(
//!                                            Gamma) || 0x00)   [cofactor = 1]
//! ```
//!
//! Points use SEC1 ยง2.3.3 compressed encoding (33 bytes); scalars are 32-byte
//! big-endian (I2OSP / OS2IP), exactly as RFC 9381's P-256 ciphersuite requires.
//!
