Struct PixParams 

pub struct PixParams {
    polys_per_ssa: u16,
    shares_per_poly: u8,
    surplus_shares: u8,
    suite: PixSuite,
}

Everything about PIX two nodes must agree on for a Session, and the only encoding of it: three dimensions and the curve suite they are dimensions of.

The same quadruple is packed into two different wire fields — the SsaRequest params word and the upper half of StartInitiation::additional_data — and both go through this type. Every earlier version of this had the shifts written out by hand at each site, in two mutually inconsistent shapes, which is why the packing lives behind a constructor rather than in the callers.

Named fields rather than a (u16, u8, u8, PixSuite) tuple: polys_per_ssa and shares_per_poly are interchangeable to the type system and not interchangeable to the protocol, while their product — which is all the Exit compares — is identical either way. A transposition therefore announced valid-looking dimensions against a correct quota, and the only thing that caught it was SessionManager::new_session requiring both to match the locally installed generator exactly, which is a check about something else entirely.

The fields are private because try_new is what enforces the ranges; holding a PixParams is what makes to_u32 infallible.

The suite is here for the same reason the dimensions are: it is something both nodes must agree on, and equality of this type is what the Entry already checks against the Exit’s echo, so carrying it here gets that direction for free. Note that it is not a dimension — it does not enter the quota — so code that speaks about what the deposit buys is right to name only the other three.

Implementations

impl PixParams

pub const fn try_new( polys_per_ssa: u16, shares_per_poly: u8, surplus_shares: u8, suite: PixSuite, ) -> Result<Self, InvalidPixParams>

Validates and assembles the quadruple.

pub fn try_new_for<S: PixSpec>( polys_per_ssa: u16, shares_per_poly: u8, surplus_shares: u8, ) -> Result<Self, InvalidPixParams>

Validates and assembles the dimensions under the curve suite of S.

The constructor to prefer wherever a concrete spec is in scope, because it makes the suite impossible to state wrongly: the shares a node produces and the suite it announces then come from the same place.

pub fn try_from_config<S: PixSpec>( cfg: &SsaGeneratorConfig, ) -> Result<Self, InvalidPixParams>

The SsaGeneratorConfig’s dimensions under the curve suite of S.

The Entry’s only source of a PixParams: the dimensions and the surplus are properties of the installed generator, and the suite is a property of the spec that generator is instantiated over — neither is something a Session caller gets to pick.

Fallible because SsaGeneratorConfig’s fields are public and its ranges are enforced by validator rather than by construction.

pub const fn polys_per_ssa(&self) -> u16

Number of polynomials the SSA secret is split across.

pub const fn shares_per_poly(&self) -> u8

Shares required to reconstruct one polynomial.

pub const fn surplus_shares(&self) -> u8

Shares emitted per polynomial beyond shares_per_poly, to absorb losses.

pub const fn emitted_shares_per_poly(&self) -> u16

Total shares the Entry emits per polynomial, i.e. threshold plus surplus.

Widened to u16 because the sum of two u8s does not fit one.

pub const fn suite(&self) -> PixSuite

The elliptic curve suite these parameters were produced under.

pub const fn to_u32(&self) -> u32

Packs into 32 bits: suite in bits 31..30, polys_per_ssa in bits 29..16, shares_per_poly in bits 15..8, and surplus_shares in bits 7..0.

pub const fn try_from_u32(packed: u32) -> Result<Self, InvalidPixParams>

Inverse of to_u32, rejecting out-of-range values and unknown suites.

Compatibility with words packed before the suite existed

Those words carried the polynomial count in the full top 16 bits, but the count is bounded by MAX_POLYS_PER_SSA and so never set the two the suite now occupies. Reading such a word therefore yields PixSuite::BabyJubJub, which is what those builds ran by default. In the other direction a peer that predates this field rejects a Secp256k1 word outright: the suite bit reads to it as a polynomial count of at least 16 384, above the maximum it already enforced. Neither side mis-parses the other; both refuse.

pub const fn into_additional_data(self, surb_target: u32) -> u64

Packs into the upper half of a StartInitiation::additional_data word, leaving surb_target in the lower half.

The two halves are the whole of that field: there is no room left in it to negotiate anything further.

pub const fn try_from_additional_data( additional_data: u64, ) -> Result<Self, InvalidPixParams>

Inverse of into_additional_data, ignoring the SURB target in the lower half.
