Raise the group element obtained via index hashing to the scalar.

CreateRandomBytes return a random bytes database.

CreateRandomMerkle blockLen is the number of byte in a block, as byte is viewed as an element in this case.

CreateBitBytes return a random bytes database.

GetKeyInfoFromPacket parses packet bytes and returns information about the key.

Take the indices (j, l) and hash them to get a group element.

HashToIndex hashes the given id to an index for a database of the given length.

InitBytes return an empty database with a initial zero capacity, to be used when embedding keys into a bytes database.

Marshal a slice of group elements.

Simple ISO/IEC 7816-4 padding where 0x80 is appended to the block, then zeros to make up to blockLen.

Unmarshal a slice of group elements.

Auth is authentication information for the single-server setting.

Merkle is the info needed for the Merkle-tree based approach.
