power_house 0.2.2

Deterministic sum-check proofs, commitment-bound sparse verification, and quorum ledger tooling.
Documentation
//! The design philosophy underlying `power_house` is pedagogical, yet mathematically rigorous.
//! Each module encapsulates a discrete concept in modern computational complexity theory,
//! illustrating how modest abstractions compose into a cohesive proof infrastructure.
//!
//! This crate aspires to bridge gaps between theoretical exposition and practical engineering,
//! serving both as a didactic resource and a foundation for future cryptographic research.
//! Finite field arithmetic.
//!
//! This module provides a simple implementation of arithmetic in a prime
//! field.  The [`Field`](struct.Field.html) type encapsulates a prime
//! modulus and exposes methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication,
//! exponentiation and inversion.  All operations reduce their results
//! modulo the field modulus.

/// A finite field defined by an odd prime modulus.
///
/// The `Field` type stores the modulus `p` and provides elementary
/// arithmetic operations over the integers modulo `p`. Construction performs
/// deterministic Miller-Rabin primality testing for the full `u64` range.
