Trait MillerLoopResult

pub trait MillerLoopResult:
    Clone
    + Copy
    + Default
    + Debug
    + Send
    + Sync
    + Add<Output = Self>
    + for<'a> Add<&'a Self, Output = Self>

    type Gt: Group;

    // Required method
    fn final_exponentiation(&self) -> Self::Gt;
}

Represents results of a Miller loop, one of the most expensive portions of the pairing function.

MillerLoopResults cannot be compared with each other until MillerLoopResult::final_exponentiation is called, which is also expensive.

Required Associated Types

type Gt: Group

The extension field that hosts the target group of the pairing.

Required Methods

fn final_exponentiation(&self) -> Self::Gt

This performs a “final exponentiation” routine to convert the result of a Miller loop into an element of MillerLoopResult::Gt, so that it can be compared with other elements of Gt.

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.
