Adds a NonZeroScalar type generic over curves along with a Generator trait which together with the Mul trait from core can replace the MulBase trait.

NonZeroScalar is able to use the bounds on Arithmetic::Scalar and therefore usable anywhere a Scalar otherwise would, but with the guarantee that multiplication by an AffinePoint will not result in the point at infinity, for which no AffinePoint representation is possible given current trait bounds/implementations.

It's a bit weird using default() and not zero()/is_zero(), but I guess it's the best that can be done at the moment. Should probably be refactored when there's a fully-functional Scalar trait (or a collection of traits) is available.

Yeah, it's the only extant trait to define this in terms of right now.

However, I wouldn't say it's "weird" per se, at least for usage of Default in Rust: zero is the Default value for all numerical types in the standard library.

I suppose it's ok for simple types, but this approach may fail if Scalar ever implements lazy reduction arithmetic similar to that in FieldElement (and it will fail for the current AffinePoint/ProjectivePoint), because in that case you could have something that is zero/identity and yet isn't default().

Pushed up a slightly modified version of this PR, and also added Generator to it and removed MulBase. I have k256 wired up with all of this locally.

I changed NonZeroScalar to be generic over Curve + Arithmetic, which allows it to reuse the trait bounds for Arithmetic::Scalar. Perhaps a better solution here would be a Scalar trait, but I think that's something to explore in a separate PR.

I think I'm going to move forward with this for now as it also solves the problem of generic variable-base scalar mult in addition to fixed-base, which is useful for a high-level generic ECDHE API. That's not to say I consider this to be the final say here, just incremental progress in exposing more functionality.

Adds a `NonZeroScalar` type generic over curves along with a `Generator`
trait which together with the `Mul` trait from `core` can replace the
`MulBase` trait.
`NonZeroScalar` is able to use the bounds on `Arithmetic::Scalar` and
therefore usable anywhere a `Scalar` otherwise would, but with the
guarantee that multiplication by an `AffinePoint` will not result in the
point at infinity, for which no `AffinePoint` representation is possible
given current trait bounds/implementations.

It's a bit weird using default() and not zero()/is_zero(), but I guess it's the best that can be done at the moment. Should probably be refactored when there's a fully-functional Scalar trait (or a collection of traits) is available.

Yeah, it's the only extant trait to define this in terms of right now.

However, I wouldn't say it's "weird" per se, at least for usage of Default in Rust: zero is the Default value for all numerical types in the standard library.

I suppose it's ok for simple types, but this approach may fail if Scalar ever implements lazy reduction arithmetic similar to that in FieldElement (and it will fail for the current AffinePoint/ProjectivePoint), because in that case you could have something that is zero/identity and yet isn't default().

Pushed up a slightly modified version of this PR, and also added Generator to it and removed MulBase. I have k256 wired up with all of this locally.

I changed NonZeroScalar to be generic over Curve + Arithmetic, which allows it to reuse the trait bounds for Arithmetic::Scalar. Perhaps a better solution here would be a Scalar trait, but I think that's something to explore in a separate PR.

I think I'm going to move forward with this for now as it also solves the problem of generic variable-base scalar mult in addition to fixed-base, which is useful for a high-level generic ECDHE API. That's not to say I consider this to be the final say here, just incremental progress in exposing more functionality.

Adds a `NonZeroScalar` type generic over curves along with a `Generator`
trait which together with the `Mul` trait from `core` can replace the
`MulBase` trait.
`NonZeroScalar` is able to use the bounds on `Arithmetic::Scalar` and
therefore usable anywhere a `Scalar` otherwise would, but with the
guarantee that multiplication by an `AffinePoint` will not result in the
point at infinity, for which no `AffinePoint` representation is possible
given current trait bounds/implementations.
