Struct Scalar 

pub struct Scalar {
    inner: BytesWrapper<Scalar, ChangeVisitorType<(B16Encoding,), { _ }>>,
}

Wrapper around curve25519_dalek::scalar::Scalar enforcing base16 serialization.

Fields

inner: BytesWrapper<Scalar, ChangeVisitorType<(B16Encoding,), { _ }>>

Implementations

impl Scalar

pub fn random() -> Self

Methods from Deref<Target = Scalar>

pub const ZERO: Scalar

pub const ONE: Scalar

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

Convert this Scalar to its underlying sequence of bytes.

Example

use curve25519_dalek::scalar::Scalar;

let s: Scalar = Scalar::ZERO;

assert!(s.to_bytes() == [0u8; 32]);

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

View the little-endian byte encoding of the integer representing this Scalar.

Example

use curve25519_dalek::scalar::Scalar;

let s: Scalar = Scalar::ZERO;

assert!(s.as_bytes() == &[0u8; 32]);

pub fn invert(&self) -> Scalar

Given a nonzero Scalar, compute its multiplicative inverse.

Warning

self MUST be nonzero. If you cannot prove that this is the case, you SHOULD NOT USE THIS FUNCTION.

Returns

The multiplicative inverse of the this Scalar.

Example

use curve25519_dalek::scalar::Scalar;

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Scalar

fn clone(&self) -> Scalar

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Scalar

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Deref for Scalar

type Target = Scalar

The resulting type after dereferencing.

fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target

Dereferences the value.

impl DerefMut for Scalar

fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut Self::Target

Mutably dereferences the value.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Scalar

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for Scalar

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<Scalar> for Scalar

fn from(inner: Scalar) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl FromStr for Scalar

We implement std::str::FromStr so that this type can be used as a command-line argument with clap.

type Err = Error

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>

Parses a string s to return a value of this type.

impl PartialEq for Scalar

fn eq(&self, other: &Scalar) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for Scalar

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Eq for Scalar
