pub fn bytes_to_elements_with_padding(bytes: &[u8]) -> Vec<BaseElement>Expand description
Converts a sequence of bytes into vector field elements with padding. This guarantees that no two sequences or bytes map to the same sequence of field elements.
Packs bytes into chunks of BINARY_CHUNK_SIZE and adds padding to the final chunk using a 1
bit followed by zeros. This ensures the original bytes can be recovered during decoding without
any ambiguity.
Note that by the endianness of the conversion as well as the fact that we are packing at most
56 = 7 * 8 bits in each field element, the padding above with 1 should never overflow the
field size.
§Arguments
bytes- Byte slice to encode
§Returns
Vector of Felt elements with the last element containing padding
