    17  // Package pedersen allows to compute and verify Pedersen vector commitments
    18  //
    19  // Pedersen vector commitments are a type of homomorphic commitments that allow
    20  // to commit to a vector of values and prove knowledge of the committed values.
    21  // The commitments can be batched and verified in a single operation.
    22  //
    23  // The commitments are computed using a set of basis elements. The proving key
    24  // contains the basis elements and their exponentiations by a random value. The
    25  // verifying key contains the G2 generator and its exponentiation by the inverse
    26  // of the random value.
    27  //
    28  // The setup process is a trusted setup and must be done securely, preferably using MPC.
    29  // After the setup, the proving key does not have to be secret, but the randomness
    30  // used during the setup must be discarded.
