Random Generation

type seed

A random seed, to derive random sequences from

type vdf_setup =
  Tezos_protocol_environment_023_PtSeouLo.Vdf.discriminant
  * Tezos_protocol_environment_023_PtSeouLo.Vdf.challenge

A VDF discriminant and challenge

type vdf_solution =
  Tezos_protocol_environment_023_PtSeouLo.Vdf.result
  * Tezos_protocol_environment_023_PtSeouLo.Vdf.proof

A VDF result, to derive a seed from

val pp_solution : 
  Tezos_protocol_environment_023_PtSeouLo.Format.formatter ->
  vdf_solution ->
  unit

val compare_vdf_solution : vdf_solution -> vdf_solution -> int

Compare only the first element of two vdf_solution, that are of Vdf.result.

val generate_vdf_setup : 
  seed_discriminant:seed ->
  seed_challenge:seed ->
  vdf_setup

val verify : 
  vdf_setup ->
  Tezos_protocol_environment_023_PtSeouLo.Int64.t ->
  vdf_solution ->
  bool option

val vdf_to_seed : seed -> vdf_solution -> seed

Entropy

type nonce

A nonce for adding entropy to the generator

val update_seed : seed -> nonce -> seed

Add entropy to the seed generator

val make_nonce : 
  bytes ->
  nonce Tezos_protocol_environment_023_PtSeouLo.Error_monad.tzresult

Use a byte sequence as a nonce

val hash : nonce -> Nonce_hash.t

Compute the hash of a nonce

val check_hash : nonce -> Nonce_hash.t -> bool

check_hash nonce hash is true if the nonce correspond to the hash

val nonce_hash_key_part : Nonce_hash.t -> string list -> string list

For using nonce hashes as keys in the hierarchical database

val deterministic_seed : seed -> seed

Returns a new seed by hashing the one passed with a constant.

val initial_seeds : ?initial_seed:State_hash.t -> int -> seed list

initial_seeds n generates the first n seeds for which there are no nonces. The first seed is a constant value. The kth seed is the hash of seed (k-1) concatenated with a constant. If an initial_seed is provided, the first seed is created using it as the first one.
