-- knowing @secKey@, one can divide 'encryption_vault' by @('encryption_nonce' '^'secKey)@
-- to decipher @('groupGen' '^'clear)@, then the @clear@ text must be small to be decryptable,
-- because it is encrypted as a power of 'groupGen' (hence the "-like" in "ElGamal-like")
-- to enable the additive homomorphism.
--
-- NOTE: Since @('encryption_vault' '*' 'encryption_nonce' '==' 'encryption_nonce' '^' (secKey '+' clear))@,
-- then: @(logBase 'encryption_nonce' ('encryption_vault' '*' 'encryption_nonce') '==' secKey '+' clear)@.

-- ** Type 'ZKP'
-- | Zero-knowledge proof.

-- learns nothing from the protocol except that the prover
-- knows the secret.

--      A paradigm for designing efficient protocols. In ACM-CCS’93, 1993.

-- ** Type 'Challenge'
type Challenge = E

-- ** Type 'Oracle'
-- An 'Oracle' returns the 'Challenge' of the 'Commitment's
-- by 'hash'ing them (eventually with other 'Commitment's).
--
-- Used in 'prove' it enables a Fiat-Shamir transformation
-- of an /interactive zero-knowledge/ (IZK) proof
-- into a /non-interactive zero-knowledge/ (NIZK) proof.
-- That is to say that the verifier does not have
-- to send a 'Challenge' to the prover.
-- Indeed, the prover now handles the 'Challenge'
-- which becomes a (collision resistant) 'hash'
-- of the prover's commitments (and statements to be a stronger proof).
type Oracle list c = list (Commitment c) -> Challenge c

-- | @('prove' sec commitmentBases oracle)@
-- returns a 'Proof' that @sec@ is known
-- (by proving the knowledge of its discrete logarithm).
--
-- The 'Oracle' is given 'Commitment's equal to the 'commitmentBases'
-- raised to the power of the secret nonce of the 'Proof',
-- as those are the 'Commitment's that the verifier will obtain
-- when composing the 'proof_challenge' and 'proof_response' together
-- (with 'commit').
--
-- WARNING: for 'prove' to be a so-called /strong Fiat-Shamir transformation/ (not a weak):
-- the statement must be included in the 'hash' (along with the commitments).
--
-- NOTE: a 'random' @nonce@ is used to ensure each 'prove'
-- does not reveal any information regarding the secret @sec@,
-- because two 'Proof's using the same 'Commitment'
-- can be used to deduce @sec@ (using the special-soundness).
