rbcl 0.1.2

Python binding to the Ristretto group operations in NaCl.

RbCl

Ristretto group Python binding to libsodium

RbCl supports Python 2.7 and 3.5+ as well as PyPy 2.6+.

import rbcl.bindings as lib

x = lib.crypto_core_ristretto255_random()
assert lib.crypto_core_ristretto255_is_valid_point(x)

y = lib.crypto_core_ristretto255_from_hash(b'\xF0'*64)
assert lib.crypto_core_ristretto255_is_valid_point(y)

z1 = lib.crypto_core_ristretto255_add(x, y)
z2 = lib.crypto_core_ristretto255_add(y, x)
assert z1 == z2  # Assert that point addition commutes (in L)

s1 = lib.crypto_core_ristretto255_scalar_random()
s2 = lib.crypto_core_ristretto255_scalar_random()
w1 = lib.crypto_scalarmult_ristretto255(s1, lib.crypto_scalarmult_ristretto255(s2, x))
w2 = lib.crypto_scalarmult_ristretto255(s2, lib.crypto_scalarmult_ristretto255(s1, x))
assert w1 == w2  # Assert that point multiplication (by a scalar) is repeated addition (in L)
