}Expand description
An encoded elliptic curve point, which should essentially wrap a [u8; N].
Required Associated Types§
type Affine: CurveAffine
Required Methods§
sourcefn into_affine(&self) -> Result<Self::Affine, GroupDecodingError>
fn into_affine(&self) -> Result<Self::Affine, GroupDecodingError>
Converts an EncodedPoint into a CurveAffine element,
if the encoding represents a valid element.
sourcefn into_affine_unchecked(&self) -> Result<Self::Affine, GroupDecodingError>
fn into_affine_unchecked(&self) -> Result<Self::Affine, GroupDecodingError>
Converts an EncodedPoint into a CurveAffine element,
without guaranteeing that the encoding represents a valid
element. This is useful when the caller knows the encoding is
valid already.
If the encoding is invalid, this can break API invariants, so caution is strongly encouraged.
sourcefn from_affine(affine: Self::Affine) -> Self
fn from_affine(affine: Self::Affine) -> Self
Creates an EncodedPoint from an affine point, as long as the
point is not the point at infinity.
Object Safety§
This trait is not object safe.
