Struct p256_flow::Scalar[][src]

pub struct Scalar(_);
This is supported on crate feature arithmetic only.
Expand description

Scalars are elements in the finite field modulo n.

Trait impls

Much of the important functionality of scalars is provided by traits from the ff crate, which is re-exported as p256::elliptic_curve_flow::ff:

  • Field - represents elements of finite fields and provides:
  • PrimeField - represents elements of prime fields and provides:
    • from_repr/to_repr for converting field elements from/to big integers.
    • char_le_bits, multiplicative_generator, root_of_unity constants.
  • PrimeFieldBits - operations over field elements represented as bits (requires bits feature)

Please see the documentation for the relevant traits for more information.
