Struct mithril_stm::stm::StmSigner

pub struct StmSigner<D: Digest> { /* private fields */ }

Participant in the protocol can sign messages.

• If the signer has closed_reg, then it can generate Stm certificate.
  • This kind of signer can only be generated out of an StmInitializer and a ClosedKeyReg.
  • This ensures that a MerkleTree root is not computed before all participants have registered.
• If the signer does not have closed_reg, then it is a core signer.
  • This kind of signer cannot participate certificate generation.
  • Signature generated can be verified by a full node verifier (core verifier).

Implementations

impl<D: Clone + Digest + FixedOutput> StmSigner<D>

pub fn sign(&self, msg: &[u8]) -> Option<StmSig>

This function produces a signature following the description of Section 2.4. Once the signature is produced, this function checks whether any index in [0,..,self.params.m] wins the lottery by evaluating the dense mapping. It records all the winning indexes in Self.indexes. If it wins at least one lottery, it stores the signer’s merkle tree index. The proof of membership will be handled by the aggregator.

pub fn verification_key(&self) -> StmVerificationKey

Extract the verification key.

pub fn get_stake(&self) -> Stake

Extract stake from the signer.

pub fn core_sign(&self, msg: &[u8], total_stake: Stake) -> Option<StmSig>

A core signature generated without closed registration. The core signature can be verified by core verifier. Once the signature is produced, this function checks whether any index in [0,..,self.params.m] wins the lottery by evaluating the dense mapping. It records all the winning indexes in Self.indexes.

pub fn check_lottery( &self, msg: &[u8], sigma: &Signature, total_stake: Stake, ) -> Vec<u64>

Collects and returns the winning indices.

Trait Implementations
