Enum winter_verifier::FieldExtension

#[repr(u8)]
pub enum FieldExtension {
    None,
    Quadratic,
}

Defines an extension field for the composition polynomial.

Choice of a field for a composition polynomial may impact proof soundness, and can also have a non-negligible impact on proof generation time and proof size. Specifically, for small fields, security offered by the base field itself may be inadequate or insufficient, and an extension of the base field may need to be used.

For example, if the size of base field is ~64-bits, a quadratic extension must be use to achieve ~100 bits of soundness, and a cubic extension must be used to achieve 128+ bits of soundness.

However, increasing extension degree will increase proof generation time and proof size by as much as 50%.

Variants

None

Composition polynomial is constructed in the base field.

Quadratic

Composition polynomial is constructed in the quadratic extension of the base field.
