Expand description

A trait for using commitment schemes generically.

Required Associated Types§

Source

type Scalar: Scalar + for<'a> Mul<&'a Self, Output = Self> + Mul<Self, Output = Self> + Serialize + for<'a> Deserialize<'a>

The associated scalar that the commitment is for. There are multiple possible commitment schemes for a scalar, but only one scalar for any commitment.

Source

type PublicSetup<'a>

The public setup for the commitment scheme.

Required Methods§

Source

fn compute_commitments( committable_columns: &[CommittableColumn<'_>], offset: usize, setup: &Self::PublicSetup<'_>, ) -> Vec<Self>

Compute the commitments for the given columns.

The resulting commitments are written to the slice in commitments, which is a buffer. commitments is expected to have the same length as committable_columns and the behavior is undefined if it does not. The length of each CommittableColumn should be the same.

offset is the amount that committable_columns is “offset” by. Logically adding offset many 0s to the beginning of each of the committable_columns.
