Struct MalEncodingProof

pub struct MalEncodingProof {
    recovered_poly: Vec<<Keccak256Config as AvidMConfig>::BaseField>,
    raw_shares: Vec<(usize, <<Keccak256Config as AvidMConfig>::MerkleTree as MerkleTreeScheme>::MembershipProof)>,
}

A proof of incorrect encoding. When the disperser is malicious, he can disperse an incorrectly encoded block, resulting in a merkle root of a Merkle tree containing invalid share (i.e. inconsistent with shares from correctly encoded block). Disperser would disperse them to all replicas with valid Merkle proof against this incorrect root, or else the replicas won’t even vote if the merkle proof is wrong. By the time of reconstruction, replicas can come together with at least threshold shares to interpolate back the original block (in polynomial form), and by recomputing the corresponding encoded block on this recovered polynomial, we can derive another merkle root of encoded shares. If the merkle root matches the one dispersed earlier, then the encoding was correct. If not, this mismatch can serve as a proof of incorrect encoding.

In short, the proof contains the recovered poly (from the received shares) and the merkle proofs (against the wrong root) being distributed by the malicious disperser.

Fields

raw_shares: Vec<(usize, <<Keccak256Config as AvidMConfig>::MerkleTree as MerkleTreeScheme>::MembershipProof)>

The Merkle proofs against the original commitment.
