Constants

The field size for BN254 curve.

const BN254_MAX: u256 = 21888242871839275222246405745257275088548364400416034343698204186575808495617;

Error if an empty vector is passed as input.

const EEmptyInput: u64 = 1;

Error if any of the inputs are larger than or equal to the BN254 field size.

const ENonCanonicalInput: u64 = 0;

Function poseidon_bn254

@param data: Vector of BN254 field elements to hash.

Hash the inputs using poseidon_bn254 and returns a BN254 field element.

Each element has to be a BN254 field element in canonical representation so it must be smaller than the BN254 scalar field size which is 21888242871839275222246405745257275088548364400416034343698204186575808495617.

Function poseidon_bn254_internal

@param data: Vector of BN254 field elements in little-endian representation.

Hash the inputs using poseidon_bn254 and returns a BN254 field element in little-endian representation.
