While #1064 mostly resolves any need to add dedicated methods to compute µ for ML-DSA, one scenario was still uncovered: being able to use external-µ signing with e.g. HSMs. In which case we don't have access to the secret key, but we can compute µ with the help of the public key.
So we add a
VerifyingKey::compute_mu()
method that facilitates that.This specifically targets
ML-DSA.Sign
and notML-DSA.Sign_internal
. I can add another method for that if desired.Resolves #1060.
Builds on top of #1073.
