Struct Straus 

pub struct Straus {}

Multiscalar multiplication using interleaved window / Straus’ method. See the Straus struct in the serial backend for more details.

This exists as a seperate implementation from that one because the AVX2 code uses different curve models (it does not pass between multiple models during scalar mul), and it has to convert the point representation on the fly.

Trait Implementations

impl MultiscalarMul for Straus

type Point = EdwardsPoint

The type of point being multiplied, e.g., RistrettoPoint.

fn multiscalar_mul<I, J>(scalars: I, points: J) -> EdwardsPoint

where I: IntoIterator, I::Item: Borrow<Scalar>, J: IntoIterator, J::Item: Borrow<EdwardsPoint>,

Given an iterator of (possibly secret) scalars and an iterator of public points, compute $$ Q = c_1 P_1 + \cdots + c_n P_n. $$

impl VartimeMultiscalarMul for Straus

type Point = EdwardsPoint

The type of point being multiplied, e.g., RistrettoPoint.

fn optional_multiscalar_mul<I, J>(scalars: I, points: J) -> Option<EdwardsPoint>

where I: IntoIterator, I::Item: Borrow<Scalar>, J: IntoIterator<Item = Option<EdwardsPoint>>,

Given an iterator of public scalars and an iterator of Options of points, compute either Some(Q), where $$ Q = c_1 P_1 + \cdots + c_n P_n, $$ if all points were Some(P_i), or else return None.

fn vartime_multiscalar_mul<I, J>(scalars: I, points: J) -> Self::Point

where I: IntoIterator, I::Item: Borrow<Scalar>, J: IntoIterator, J::Item: Borrow<Self::Point>, Self::Point: Clone,

Given an iterator of public scalars and an iterator of public points, compute $$ Q = c_1 P_1 + \cdots + c_n P_n, $$ using variable-time operations.
