This library is usable under no_std. The `alloc` and `std` features enable
reading from the `io::Read` trait, shimmed by `std-shims` under `alloc` .

### Secp256k1/P-256
Secp256k1 and P-256 are offered via [k256 ](https://crates.io/crates/k256 ) and
[p256 ](https://crates.io/crates/p256 ), two libraries maintained by
[RustCrypto ](https://github.com/RustCrypto ).
Their `hash_to_F` is the
[IETF's hash to curve ](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-irtf-cfrg-hash-to-curve-16.html ),
yet applied to their scalar field.

Please see the [`ciphersuite-kp256` ](https://docs.rs/ciphersuite-kp256 ) crate for more info.

### Ed25519/Ristretto
Ed25519/Ristretto are offered via
[dalek-ff-group ](https://crates.io/crates/dalek-ff-group ), an ff/group wrapper
around [curve25519-dalek ](https://crates.io/crates/curve25519-dalek ).
Their `hash_to_F` is the wide reduction of SHA2-512, as used in
2022-12-25 02:50:10 -05:00
[RFC-8032 ](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8032 ). This is also compliant with
2022-12-24 17:08:22 -05:00
the draft
2022-12-25 02:50:10 -05:00
[RFC-RISTRETTO ](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-irtf-cfrg-ristretto255-decaf448-05.html ).
2022-12-24 17:08:22 -05:00
The domain-separation tag is naively prefixed to the message.

Please see the [`dalek-ff-group` ](https://docs.rs/dalek-ff-group ) crate for more info.
2022-12-24 17:08:22 -05:00
### Ed448
Ed448 is offered via [minimal-ed448 ](https://crates.io/crates/minimal-ed448 ), an
2023-02-24 06:03:56 -05:00
explicitly not recommended, unaudited, incomplete Ed448 implementation, limited
to its prime-order subgroup.
2022-12-24 17:08:22 -05:00
Its `hash_to_F` is the wide reduction of SHAKE256, with a 114-byte output, as
2022-12-25 02:50:10 -05:00
used in [RFC-8032 ](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8032 ). The
2022-12-24 17:08:22 -05:00
domain-separation tag is naively prefixed to the message.
