Available on crate features arithmetic and expose-field only.
Expand description

An element in the finite field modulo p = 2^{224}(2^{32} − 1) + 2^{192} + 2^{96} − 1.

The internal representation is in little-endian order. Elements are always in Montgomery form; i.e., FieldElement(a) = aR mod p, with R = 2^256.

Implementations§

Zero element.

Multiplicative identity.

Create a FieldElement from a canonical big-endian representation.

Decode FieldElement from a big endian byte slice.

Create a FieldElement from a canonical little-endian representation.

Decode FieldElement from a little endian byte slice.

Decode FieldElement from U256 converting it into Montgomery form:

w * R^2 * R^-1 mod p = wR mod p

Returns the big-endian encoding of this FieldElement.

Returns the little-endian encoding of this FieldElement.

Translate FieldElement out of the Montgomery domain, returning a U256 in canonical form.

Determine if this FieldElement is odd in the SEC1 sense: self mod 2 == 1.

Returns

If odd, return Choice(1). Otherwise, return Choice(0).

Determine if this FieldElement is even in the SEC1 sense: self mod 2 == 0.

Returns

If even, return Choice(1). Otherwise, return Choice(0).

Determine if this FieldElement is zero.

Returns

If zero, return Choice(1). Otherwise, return Choice(0).

Add elements.

Double element (add it to itself).

Subtract elements.

Multiply elements.

Negate element.

Compute modular square.

Attempts to parse the given byte array as an SEC1-encoded field element.

Returns None if the byte array does not contain a big-endian integer in the range [0, p).

Returns the SEC1 encoding of this field element.

Returns self^by, where by is a little-endian integer exponent.

This operation is variable time with respect to the exponent. If the exponent is fixed, this operation is effectively constant time.

Returns the multiplicative inverse of self, if self is non-zero.

Returns the square root of self mod p, or None if no square root exists.
