Trait Reference

pub trait Reference {
    type Error;

    // Required methods
    fn generate() -> Result<Self, Self::Error>
       where Self: Sized;
    fn load(path: &Path) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>
       where Self: Sized;
    fn save(reference: &Self, path: &Path) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;
}

A global, trust-assumption-reliant parameter set used for proving and verifying, such as a common or structured reference string (CRS/SRS).

Currently only used by the legacy prover integrations.

Required Associated Types

type Error

Required Methods

fn generate() -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

where Self: Sized,

Generate reference.

fn load(path: &Path) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>

where Self: Sized,

Load reference from a file.

fn save(reference: &Self, path: &Path) -> Result<(), Self::Error>

Save reference to a file.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
