Trait MulByGeneratorVartime 

pub trait MulByGeneratorVartime: Group + for<'a> MulVartime<&'a Self::Scalar> {
    // Provided methods
    fn mul_by_generator_vartime(scalar: &Self::Scalar) -> Self { ... }
    fn mul_by_generator_and_mul_add_vartime(
        a: &Self::Scalar,
        b: &Self::Scalar,
        p: &Self,
    ) -> Self { ... }
}

Variable-time multiplication by the generator of the curve group.

Security Warning

Variable-time operations should only be used on non-secret values, and may potentially leak secret values!

Provided Methods

fn mul_by_generator_vartime(scalar: &Self::Scalar) -> Self

Multiply by the generator of the prime-order subgroup.

Variable-time equivalent of Group::mul_by_generator.

fn mul_by_generator_and_mul_add_vartime( a: &Self::Scalar, b: &Self::Scalar, p: &Self, ) -> Self

Multiply a by the generator of the prime-order subgroup, adding the result to the point P multiplied by the scalar b, i.e. compute aG + bP.

This operation is the core of many signature verification algorithms.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
