        Purpose
        -------
        This library provides native Python definitions and Python `libsodium <https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium>`_ wrappers for cryptographic primitives that are often used to implement `oblivious pseudorandom function (OPRF) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_function_family>`_ and `oblivious transfer (OT) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivious_transfer>`_ protocols.
        
        For more information on the underlying mathematical structures and primitives, consult materials about the `Ed25519 <https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/>`_ system and the `Ristretto <https://ristretto.group/>`_ group.
        
        Package Installation and Usage
        ------------------------------
        The package is available on PyPI::
        
            python -m pip install oblivious
        
        The library can be imported in the usual ways::
        
            import oblivious
            from oblivious import *
        
        Testing and Conventions
        -----------------------
        Unit tests can be executed using `nose <https://nose.readthedocs.io/>`_::
        
            nosetests
        
        Concise unit tests are implemented with the help of `fountains <https://pypi.org/project/fountains/>`_ and new reference bit lists for these tests can be generated in the following way::
        
            python test/test_oblivious.py
        
        Style conventions are enforced using `Pylint <https://www.pylint.org/>`_::
        
            pylint oblivious
