Multiple curves #5

Closed wyatt-howe closed 2 years ago

wyatt-howe commented 2 years ago

BN254 can be imported by writing from oblivious.bn254 import point, scalar. Likewise, Ristretto255 can be imported by writing from oblivious.ristretto import point, scalar.

>>> import timeit
>>> timeit.timeit('s * p', setup='from oblivious.bn254 import point, scalar; (s, p) = (scalar.random(), point.random())', number=100000)
4.401820125
>>> timeit.timeit('s * p', setup='from oblivious.ristretto import point, scalar; (s, p) = (scalar.random(), point.random())', number=100000)
4.364272208

Encryption performance is almost identical on both curves.

Deterministic scalar/ID synthesis is explained in the doctest below.
