Struct schnorrkel::vrf::VRFOutput

pub struct VRFOutput(pub [u8; 32]);

VRF output, possibly unverified.

Internally, we keep both RistrettoPoint and CompressedRistretto forms using RistrettoBoth.

We'd actually love to statically distinguish here between inputs and outputs, as well as whether outputs were verified, but doing so would disrupt our general purpose DLEQ proof mechanism, so users must be responcible for this themselves. We do however consume by value in actual output methods, and do not implement Copy, as a reminder that VRF outputs should only be used once and should be checked before usage.

Methods

impl VRFOutput

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 32]

Convert this VRF output to a byte array.

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8; 32]

View this secret key as a byte array.

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> SignatureResult<VRFOutput>

Construct a VRFOutput from a slice of bytes.

pub fn attach_input_hash<T>(
    &self,
    public: &PublicKey,
    t: T
) -> SignatureResult<VRFInOut> where
    T: VRFSigningTranscript, 

Pair a non-malleable VRF output with the hash of the given transcript.

Trait Implementations
