Struct WinternitzPubkey 

pub struct WinternitzPubkey<const N: usize> { /* private fields */ }

Public Winternitz key: N message scalars followed by 2 checksum scalars, each 32 bytes. Total size is (N + 2) * 32 bytes.

Each pubkey scalar equals SHA256 applied 255 times to the corresponding privkey scalar. N must be even and in 16..=32 (compile-time enforced).

Implementations

impl<const N: usize> WinternitzPubkey<N>

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

Return the pubkey’s (N + 2) * 32 raw bytes (message scalars then checksum scalars), with no copy.

pub fn merklize(&self) -> WinternitzRoot

Compute the Merkle root over all N + 2 scalars. Leaves are SHA256(0x00 || scalar); internal nodes are SHA256(0x01 || L || R) (domain-separated). The tree shape is “rightmost-duplication on odd levels” — equivalently, an online stack-collapse where leaves are streamed left-to-right, adjacent same-level entries combine on push, and any orphan top-of-stack at drain is lifted to its left neighbour’s level by repeated self-duplication.
