Module curve25519_dalek::constants

Various constants, such as the Ristretto and Ed25519 basepoints.

Most of the constants are given with LONG_DESCRIPTIVE_UPPER_CASE_NAMES, but they can be brought into scope using a let binding:

use curve25519_dalek::constants;
use curve25519_dalek::traits::IsIdentity;

let B = constants::RISTRETTO_BASEPOINT_TABLE;
let l = &constants::BASEPOINT_ORDER;

let A = l * B;
assert!(A.is_identity());
