Handling errors
Most crate functions mentioned below return Results with
Errors.
All errors should be considered fatal and should lead to aborting the key
generation or signing procedure.
Serializing structures
FROST is a distributed protocol and thus it requires sending messages between
participants. While the ZF FROST library does not handle communication, it can
help with serialization by activating the serde feature. When it is enabled,
you can use serde to serialize any structure that needs
to be transmitted. Import example:
[dependencies]
frost-ristretto255 = { version = "0.6.0", features = ["serde"] }
Note that serde usage is optional. Applications can use different encodings, and
to support that, all structures that need to be transmitted have public getters
and new() methods allowing the application to encode and decode them as it
wishes. (Note that fields like Scalar and Element do have standard byte
string encodings; the application can encode those byte strings as it wishes,
as well the structure themselves and things like maps and lists.)
