Struct curve25519_dalek::ristretto::RistrettoPoint

pub struct RistrettoPoint(_);

A RistrettoPoint represents a point in the Ristretto group for Curve25519. Ristretto, a variant of Decaf, constructs a prime-order group as a quotient group of a subgroup of (the Edwards form of) Curve25519.

Internally, a RistrettoPoint is implemented as a wrapper type around EdwardsPoint, with custom equality, compression, and decompression routines to account for the quotient. This means that operations on RistrettoPoints are exactly as fast as operations on EdwardsPoints.

Implementations

impl RistrettoPoint

pub fn compress(&self) -> CompressedRistretto

Compress this point using the Ristretto encoding.

pub fn double_and_compress_batch<'a, I>(points: I) -> Vec<CompressedRistretto> where
    I: IntoIterator<Item = &'a RistrettoPoint>, 

Double-and-compress a batch of points. The Ristretto encoding is not batchable, since it requires an inverse square root.

However, given input points \( P_1, \ldots, P_n, \) it is possible to compute the encodings of their doubles \( \mathrm{enc}( [2]P_1), \ldots, \mathrm{enc}( [2]P_n ) \) in a batch.

extern crate rand_core;
use rand_core::OsRng;

let mut rng = OsRng;
let points: Vec<RistrettoPoint> =
    (0..32).map(|_| RistrettoPoint::random(&mut rng)).collect();

let compressed = RistrettoPoint::double_and_compress_batch(&points);

for (P, P2_compressed) in points.iter().zip(compressed.iter()) {
    assert_eq!(*P2_compressed, (P + P).compress());
}

pub fn random<R: RngCore + CryptoRng>(rng: &mut R) -> Self

Return a RistrettoPoint chosen uniformly at random using a user-provided RNG.

Inputs

• rng: any RNG which implements the RngCore + CryptoRng interface.

Returns

A random element of the Ristretto group.

Implementation

Uses the Ristretto-flavoured Elligator 2 map, so that the discrete log of the output point with respect to any other point should be unknown. The map is applied twice and the results are added, to ensure a uniform distribution.

pub fn hash_from_bytes<D>(input: &[u8]) -> RistrettoPoint where
    D: Digest<OutputSize = U64> + Default, 

Hash a slice of bytes into a RistrettoPoint.

Takes a type parameter D, which is any Digest producing 64 bytes of output.

Convenience wrapper around from_hash.

Implementation

Uses the Ristretto-flavoured Elligator 2 map, so that the discrete log of the output point with respect to any other point should be unknown. The map is applied twice and the results are added, to ensure a uniform distribution.

Example

extern crate sha2;
use sha2::Sha512;

let msg = "To really appreciate architecture, you may even need to commit a murder";
let P = RistrettoPoint::hash_from_bytes::<Sha512>(msg.as_bytes());

pub fn from_hash<D>(hash: D) -> RistrettoPoint where
    D: Digest<OutputSize = U64> + Default, 

Construct a RistrettoPoint from an existing Digest instance.

Use this instead of hash_from_bytes if it is more convenient to stream data into the Digest than to pass a single byte slice.

pub fn from_uniform_bytes(bytes: &[u8; 64]) -> RistrettoPoint

Construct a RistrettoPoint from 64 bytes of data.

If the input bytes are uniformly distributed, the resulting point will be uniformly distributed over the group, and its discrete log with respect to other points should be unknown.

Implementation

This function splits the input array into two 32-byte halves, takes the low 255 bits of each half mod p, applies the Ristretto-flavored Elligator map to each, and adds the results.

impl RistrettoPoint

pub fn vartime_double_scalar_mul_basepoint(
    a: &Scalar,
    A: &RistrettoPoint,
    b: &Scalar
) -> RistrettoPoint

Compute \(aA + bB\) in variable time, where \(B\) is the Ristretto basepoint.
