ff

ff is a finite field library written in pure Rust, with no unsafe{} code. This library relies on Rust's i128_type feature, which is currently only available in the nightly compiler.

Disclaimers

  • This library does not provide constant-time guarantees.
  • This library relies on Rust's i128_type feature, which is currently only available in the nightly compiler.

Usage

Add the ff crate to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ff = "0.1"

The ff crate contains Field, PrimeField, PrimeFieldRepr and SqrtField traits. See the documentation 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. It's very easy to use, after you've added it to your Cargo.toml.

extern crate rand;
#[macro_use]
extern crate ff;

#[derive(PrimeField)]
#[PrimeFieldModulus = "57896044618658097711785492504343953926634992332820282019728792003956564819949"]
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.
