Minimal Anti Collusion Infrastructure (MACI) v2.0.0-alpha / PubKey

Class: PubKey

Notice

A class representing a public key This is a MACI public key, which is not to be confused with an Ethereum public key. A serialized MACI public key is prefixed by 'macipk.' A raw MACI public key can be thought as a pair of BigIntegers (x, y) representing a point on the baby jubjub curve

Constructors

new PubKey()

new PubKey(rawPubKey, allowInvalid): PubKey

Create a new instance of a public key

Parameters

rawPubKey: PubKey

the raw public key

allowInvalid: boolean = false

whether to allow invalid public keys

Returns

PubKey

Dev

You might want to allow an invalid raw key, as when decrypting invalid messages, the public key data will be random, and likely not be a point on the curve. However we need to match keys to the circuit which does not perform such checks
