Mavryk_bls12_381.Fq12
Represents the field extension constructed as described here. The interface does not provide the full requirements to be a field (like the addition).
In many applications, the field extension won't be used and GT
will be used instead. However, this library exposes the field extension to allow the user to use Pairing.miller_loop
and post-pone the call to Pairing.final_exponentiation_exn
follwing its taste.
An element of the field extension. It is not ensured the element are in the prime multiplicative subgroup. If you need inhabitants of the prime subgroup, use the module GT
val zero : t
The neutral element of the additive subgroup
val one : t
The neutral element of the multiplicative subgroup
val is_zero : t -> bool
is_zero x
returns true
if x
is the neutral element of the additive subgroup
val is_one : t -> bool
is_one x
returns true
if x
is the neutral element for the multiplication
inverse_exn x
returns x^-1 mod order
if x
is not 0
, else raise Division_by_zero
. Equivalently, inverse_exn x
returns the unique y
such that x * y mod order = 1
inverse_opt x
returns x^-1 mod order
as an option if x
is not 0
, else returns None
. Equivalently, inverse_opt x
returns the unique y
such that x * y mod order = 1
val random : ?state:Stdlib.Random.State.t -> unit -> t
Generates a random element.
The routines in the module Random.State
are used to generate the elements. A state can be given to the function to be used. If no state is given, Random.get_state
is used.
To create a value of type Random.State.t
, you can use Random.State.make
[|42|]
.
val of_bytes_exn : Stdlib.Bytes.t -> t
of_bytes_exn bs
builds a value of type t. Each coordinate is expected to be in little endian and the constant monomial is always encoded first. The size of bs
is expected to be size_in_bytes
. If the element is not in the field or if bs
is not of size size_in_bytes
, raises Not_in_field
with bs
in parameter.
val of_bytes_opt : Stdlib.Bytes.t -> t option
Same than of_bytes_exn
but returns an option instead of raising an exception
val to_bytes : t -> Stdlib.Bytes.t
to_bytes p
encodes the point p
following the encoding described by of_bytes_exn
val of_string :
Stdlib.String.t ->

Construct an element of Fq12 based on the following pattern:
Fq12 = (Fq6 (Fq2(x: x0, y: x1)) Fq2(x: x2, y: x3)) Fq2(x: x4, y: x5)), Fq6 ( Fq2(x: x6, y: x7)) Fq2(x: x8, y: x9)) Fq2(x: x10, y: x11))
x0, ..., x11
are the parameters of the function. No check is applied.

Undefined behaviours if the given elements are not in the field or any other representation than decimal is used. Use this function carefully.
See https://docs.rs/crate/pairing/0.16.0/source/src/bls12_381/README.md for more information on the instances used by the library.
FIXME: the function is not memory efficient because the elements are copied multiple times.
