Trait hash2curve::HashToCurveXof

pub trait HashToCurveXof {
    type Output;
    fn encode_to_curve_xof<X: ExtendableOutput + Input + Reset + Default>(
        &self, 
        data: &[u8]
    ) -> Result<Self::Output, HashingError>;

    ) -> Result<Self::Output, HashingError>;
}

The HashToCurveXof trait specifies an interface common for mapping to curve functions using XMD to expand the message.

Required methods

fn encode_to_curve_xof<X: ExtendableOutput + Input + Reset + Default>(
    &self,
    data: &[u8]
) -> Result<Self::Output, HashingError>

Nonuniform encoding. This function encodes byte strings to points in G. The distribution of the output is not uniformly random in G.

fn hash_to_curve_xof<X: ExtendableOutput + Input + Reset + Default>(
    &self,
    data: &[u8]
) -> Result<Self::Output, HashingError>

Random oracle encoding (hash_to_curve). This function encodes byte strings to points in G. This function is suitable for applications requiring a random oracle returning points in G, provided that map_to_curve is "well distributed".
