Struct salty::curve::CompressedY

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

"Compressed" form of a CurvePoint, whereby the sign of the x-coordinate is stuffed in a spare bit of the y-coordinate

Methods

impl CompressedY

pub fn decompressed(&self) -> Result<CurvePoint>

This is rather tricky: to get the x-coordinate, and not just its sign, need to calculate the square root of u/v := (y**2 - 1)/(dy**2 + 1). Moreover, we want to detect whether our compressed Y actually corresponds to a point on the curve! The original sources are the Tweet NaCl paper, section 5 and the ed25519 paper, also section 5.

impl CompressedY

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

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