Struct VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment 

pub struct VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C: Ciphersuite>(/* private fields */);

Contains the commitments to the coefficients for our secret polynomial f, used to generate participants’ key shares.

VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment contains a set of commitments to the coefficients (which themselves are scalars) for a secret polynomial f, where f is used to generate each ith participant’s key share f(i). Participants use this set of commitments to perform verifiable secret sharing.

Note that participants MUST be assured that they have the same VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment, either by performing pairwise comparison, or by using some agreed-upon public location for publication, where each participant can ensure that they received the correct (and same) value.

Implementations

impl<C> VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C>

where C: Ciphersuite,

pub fn serialize(&self) -> Result<Vec<Vec<u8>>, Error<C>>

Returns serialized coefficient commitments

pub fn serialize_whole(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error<C>>

Serialize the whole commitment vector as a single byte vector.

pub fn deserialize<I, V>( serialized_coefficient_commitments: I, ) -> Result<Self, Error<C>>

where I: IntoIterator<Item = V>, V: AsRef<[u8]>,

Returns VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment from an iterator of serialized CoefficientCommitments (e.g. a Vec<Vec<u8>>).

pub fn deserialize_whole(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Error<C>>

Deserialize a whole commitment vector from a single byte vector as returned by VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment::serialize_whole().

Trait Implementations

impl<C: Clone + Ciphersuite> Clone for VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C>

fn clone(&self) -> VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<C: Debug + Ciphersuite> Debug for VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de, C> Deserialize<'de> for VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C>

where C: Ciphersuite,

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl<C: PartialEq + Ciphersuite> PartialEq for VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C>

fn eq(&self, other: &VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C>) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl<C> Serialize for VerifiableSecretSharingCommitment<C>

where C: Ciphersuite,

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
