//! Implementation of Hierarchical Identity Based Encryption ([HIBE]), an extension of Identity
//! Based Encryption ([IBE]).
//!
//! # ⚠️ Warning: Cryptographic Hazmat ☣️
//!
//! This crate is made for playing around with HIBE and for prototyping of applications and
//! protocols using HIBE. It has *not* been audited, it is *not* battle tested, and *nobody* claims
//! it to be secure.
//!
//! Use it at **your own risk** and if you know what you are doing!
//!
//! # Introduction
//!
//! HIBEs are encryption schemes in which a party can encrypt data for a given recipient by using
//! the recipient's identity in the encryption process, instead of requiring an explicitely shared
//! public key. In addition, the hierarchical property allows holders of a secret key for an
//! identity to also generate the keys of subordinate identities.
//!
//! This library is intended to provide an easy-to-use implementation of HIBE for prototyping and
//! playing around. The library is not optimized for speed, but rather for usability (for example,
//! it requires the standard library and allocations, and it unconditionally requires `serde` for
//! serialization).
//!
//! # Crate Structure
//!
//! The [`hibe`] submodule contains the basic definitions of HIBE functionality, as [`hibe::Hibe`]
//! (basic parameter and key generation), [`hibe::HibeKem`] (HIBE key encapsulation) and
//! [`hibe::HibeCrypt`] (HIBE encryption). Those methods work directly on the group elements, as
//! they are defined in their respective papers.
//!
//! To aid in using those algorithms, a higher-level wrapper is provided in the [`kem`] submodule,
//! mainly in the [`kem::HybridKem`] struct. This allows you to deal with bytes instead of group
//! elements.
//!
//! The bridge between [`hibe`] and [`kem`] is provided by [`Mapper`], which translates from
//! arbitrary identities from the application domain to the low-level, mathematical representation
//! of identities in the context of HIBEs.
//!
//! Currently, [`kem::HybridKem`] is hardwired to [`hibe::BonehBoyenGoh`] to keep the amount of
//! generics and generic bounds low. This might change in the future, when more HIBEs might be
//! implemented.
//!
//! # Implemented Algorithms
//!
//! Currenly, this crate implements the HIBE of Boneh, Boyen and Goh, "Hierarchical Identity Based
//! Encryption with Constant Size Ciphertext" ([eprint](https://eprint.iacr.org/2005/015.pdf)).
//! This algorithm lives as [`hibe::BonehBoyenGoh`].
//!
//! The algorithms in this crate are implemented on top of
//! [`bls_12_381_plus`](https://crates.io/crates/bls12_381_plus), as it provides better `serde`
//! support and access to the internals of the group elements.
