//! Utilities for distributed key generation: uni- and bivariate polynomials and commitments.
//!
//! If `G` is a group of prime order `r` (written additively), and `g` is a generator, then
//! multiplication by integers factors through `r`, so the map `x -> x * g` (the sum of `x`
//! copies of `g`) is a homomorphism from the field `Fr` of integers modulo `r` to `G`. If the
//! _discrete logarithm_ is hard, i.e. it is infeasible to reverse this map, then `x * g` can be
//! considered a _commitment_ to `x`: By publishing it, you can guarantee to others that you won't
//! change your mind about the value `x`, without revealing it.
//!
//! This concept extends to polynomials: If you have a polynomial `f` over `Fr`, defined as
//! `a * X * X + b * X + c`, you can publish `a * g`, `b * g` and `c * g`. Then others will be able
//! to verify any single value `f(x)` of the polynomial without learning the original polynomial,
//! because `f(x) * g == x * x * (a * g) + x * (b * g) + (c * g)`. Only after learning three (in
//! general `degree + 1`) values, they can interpolate `f` itself.
//!
//! This module defines univariate polynomials (in one variable) and _symmetric_ bivariate
//! polynomials (in two variables) over a field `Fr`, as well as their _commitments_ in `G`.
