Trait Samplable 

Source 
pub trait Samplable {
    // Required methods
    fn random<R: RngCore>(rng: &mut R) -> Self;
    fn random_vartime<R: RngCore>(rng: &mut R) -> Self;
}
Expand description

Uniformly samples an instance of Self from source of randomness

This trait is implemented for scalars in all their variations: Scalar<E>, SecretScalar<E>, NonZero<Scalar<E>>, etc.

Under the hood, it uses NonZero::<Scalar<E>>::{random, random_vartime} methods.

Required Methods§

Source

fn random<R: RngCore>(rng: &mut R) -> Self

Uniformly samples an instance of Self from source of randomness using constant-time method

Under the hood, it uses NonZero::<Scalar<E>>::random() method, therefore it shares the same guarantees and performance drawbacks. Refer to its documentation to learn more.

Source

fn random_vartime<R: RngCore>(rng: &mut R) -> Self

Uniformly samples an instance of Self from source of randomness using vartime method

Under the hood, it uses NonZero::<Scalar<E>>::random_vartime() method, therefore it shares the same guarantees and performance drawbacks. Refer to its documentation to learn more.

Dyn Compatibility§

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
