Struct rgbstd::BlindingFactor

source ·

pub struct BlindingFactor(/* private fields */);

Expand description

Blinding factor used in creating Pedersen commitment to an [AtomicValue].

Knowledge of the blinding factor is important to reproduce the commitment process if the original value is kept.

Implementations§

source §

pub fn random() -> BlindingFactor

Creates a random blinding factor.

source

pub fn random_custom<R>(rng: &mut R) -> BlindingFactorwhere R: Rng + RngCore,

Generates a random blinding factor using custom random number generator.

source

pub fn zero_balanced( negative: impl IntoIterator<Item = BlindingFactor>, positive: impl IntoIterator<Item = BlindingFactor> ) -> Result<BlindingFactor, InvalidFieldElement>

Generates new blinding factor which balances a given set of negatives and positives into zero.

Errors

if negatives are empty set;
if any subset of the negatives or positives are inverses of other negatives or positives,
if the balancing factor is zero (sum of negatives already equal to the sum of positives).

Methods from Deref<Target = [u8; 32]>§

source

pub fn as_ascii(&self) -> Option<&[AsciiChar; N]>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this array of bytes into a array of ASCII characters, or returns None if any of the characters is non-ASCII.

Examples

#![feature(ascii_char)]
#![feature(const_option)]

const HEX_DIGITS: [std::ascii::Char; 16] =
    *b"0123456789abcdef".as_ascii().unwrap();

assert_eq!(HEX_DIGITS[1].as_str(), "1");
assert_eq!(HEX_DIGITS[10].as_str(), "a");

source

pub unsafe fn as_ascii_unchecked(&self) -> &[AsciiChar; N]

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ascii_char)

Converts this array of bytes into a array of ASCII characters, without checking whether they’re valid.

Safety

Every byte in the array must be in 0..=127, or else this is UB.

pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[T]

Returns a slice containing the entire array. Equivalent to &s[..].

source

pub fn each_ref(&self) -> [&T; N]

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (array_methods)

Borrows each element and returns an array of references with the same size as self.

Example

#![feature(array_methods)]

let floats = [3.1, 2.7, -1.0];
let float_refs: [&f64; 3] = floats.each_ref();
assert_eq!(float_refs, [&3.1, &2.7, &-1.0]);

This method is particularly useful if combined with other methods, like map. This way, you can avoid moving the original array if its elements are not Copy.

#![feature(array_methods)]

let strings = ["Ferris".to_string(), "♥".to_string(), "Rust".to_string()];
let is_ascii = strings.each_ref().map(|s| s.is_ascii());
assert_eq!(is_ascii, [true, false, true]);

// We can still access the original array: it has not been moved.
assert_eq!(strings.len(), 3);

source

pub fn split_array_ref<const M: usize>(&self) -> (&[T; M], &[T])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one array reference into two at an index.

The first will contain all indices from [0, M) (excluding the index M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

Panics

Panics if M > N.

Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

{
   let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<0>();
   assert_eq!(left, &[]);
   assert_eq!(right, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<2>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[3, 4, 5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.split_array_ref::<6>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[]);
}

source

pub fn rsplit_array_ref<const M: usize>(&self) -> (&[T], &[T; M])

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (split_array)

Divides one array reference into two at an index from the end.

The first will contain all indices from [0, N - M) (excluding the index N - M itself) and the second will contain all indices from [N - M, N) (excluding the index N itself).

Panics

Panics if M > N.

Examples

#![feature(split_array)]

let v = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];

{
   let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<0>();
   assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
   assert_eq!(right, &[]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<2>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[1, 2, 3, 4]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[5, 6]);
}

{
    let (left, right) = v.rsplit_array_ref::<6>();
    assert_eq!(left, &[]);
    assert_eq!(right, &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
}
