[back to package description]

pasta-curves

This Haskell library provides the Pasta Curves consisting of: the Pallas curve and its Fp field element, the Vesta curve and its Fq field element, and a variety of supporting functionality such as point/element arithmetic, serialization, and hash-to-curve. The algorithms are NOT constant time.

Pallas is y² = x³ + 5 over F_p(0x40000000000000000000000000000000224698fc094cf91b992d30ed00000001). The order of the Pallas curve is 0x40000000000000000000000000000000224698fc0994a8dd8c46eb2100000001.

Vesta is y² = x³ + 5 over F_q(0x40000000000000000000000000000000224698fc0994a8dd8c46eb2100000001). The order of the Vesta curve is 0x40000000000000000000000000000000224698fc094cf91b992d30ed00000001.

The curves are designed such that the order of one matches the field characteristic of the other. For a brief introduction, see the Zcash blog titled "The Pasta Curves for Halo 2 and Beyond". The reference Rust implementation (which inspired this implementation) can be found at: https://github.com/zcash/pasta_curves.

Example usage of this library implementation:

$ cabal repl

ghci> a = 9 :: Fp

ghci> a*a
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000051

ghci> pointMul a base :: Vesta

            _py = 0x08795CD330B3CE5AA63BD2B18DE155AE3C96E8AF9DA2CC742C6BA1464E490161, 
            _pz = 0x1FA26F58F3A641ADFE81775D3D53378D6178B6CCBF14F9BD4AB5F10DEE28D878}
