The prior-present `Ciphersuite::hash_to_F` was a sin. Implementations took a DST, yet were not require to securely handle it. It was also biased towards the requirements of `modular-frost` as `ciphersuite` was originally written all those years ago, when `modular-frost` had needs exceeding what `ff`, `group` satisfied. Now, the hash is bound to produce an output which can be converted to a scalar with `ff::FromUniformBytes`. A new `hash_to_F`, which accepts a single argument of the value to hash (removing the potential to insecurely handle the DST by removing the DST entirely). Due to `digest` yielding a `GenericArray`, yet `FromUniformBytes` taking a `const usize`, the `ciphersuite` crate now defines a `FromUniformBytes` trait taking an array (then implemented for all satisfiers of `ff::FromUniformBytes`). In order to get the array type from the `GenericArray`, the output of the hash, `digest` is updated to the `0.11` release candidate which moves to `flexible-array` which solves that problem. The existing, specific `hash_to_F` functions have been moved to `modular-frost` as necessary. `flexible-array` itself is patched to a fork due to https://github.com/RustCrypto/hybrid-array/issues/131.
Distributed Key Generation - Recovery
A utility function to recover a key from its secret shares.
Keys likely SHOULD NOT ever be recovered, making this primarily intended for testing purposes. Instead, the shares of the key should be used to produce shares for the desired action, allowing using the key while never reconstructing it.
