# "FF community edition"
This library is community maintained fork of the original `ff` library by Sean Bowe. Name of the library is changed to allow publishing to the `crates.io`
## Original ff
`ff` is a finite field library written in pure Rust, with no `unsafe{}` code.
## Disclaimers
* This library does not provide constant-time guarantees.
## Usage
Add the `ff_ce` crate to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
ff_ce = "0.6"
```
The `ff_ce` crate contains `Field`, `PrimeField`, `PrimeFieldRepr` and `SqrtField` traits. See the **[documentation](https://docs.rs/ff/0.4.0/ff/)** for more.
### #![derive(PrimeField)]
If you need an implementation of a prime field, this library also provides a procedural macro that will expand into an efficient implementation of a prime field when supplied with the modulus. `PrimeFieldGenerator` must be an element of Fp of p-1 order, that is also quadratic nonresidue.
First, enable the `derive` crate feature:
```toml
[dependencies]
ff = { ..., features = ["derive"] }
```
And then use the macro like so:
```rust
extern crate rand;
#[macro_use]
extern crate ff_ce;
#[derive(PrimeField)]
#[PrimeFieldModulus = "52435875175126190479447740508185965837690552500527637822603658699938581184513"]
#[PrimeFieldGenerator = "7"]
struct Fp(FpRepr);
```
And that's it! `Fp` now implements `Field` and `PrimeField`. `Fp` will also implement `SqrtField` if supported. The library implements `FpRepr` itself and derives `PrimeFieldRepr` for it.
