Struct salty::Scalar

#[repr(C)]
pub struct Scalar(pub [u8; 32]);

Since the curve is an abelian group, it has a module structure, consisting of these scalars. They are the integers modulo "ell", where "ell" is 2**252 + something something.

Methods

impl Scalar

const L: [u8; 32]

pub fn ell() -> [u8; 32]

The order of the group, 2**252 + something something

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8; 32]) -> Self

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

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

pub fn from_u256_le(x: &[u8; 32]) -> Scalar

pub fn from_u512_le(x: &[u8; 64]) -> Scalar
