Summary
Application and proof boundary
Silent OT uses the binary profile because its choices are bits. Silent VOLE uses the field profile: its convolution regenerates full-field coefficients and performs ambient-field multiplications, so GF(2^128) components are mixed rather than encoded as 128 independent binary lanes. Silent VOLE explicitly rejects the binary RegularEc10x5x15 profile.
The binary degree-10/5, memory-15 ensemble has a finite distance certificate at k = 1,048,575 with failure probability below 2^-32.4990 for the stated cutoff.
The companion paper separately certifies the independently labeled field ensemble over GF(2^128) with degree 26/13 and memory 4. At n = 2,097,134 and distance cutoff 1,015,822, its sampling-failure probability is below 2^-135.20. The low-memory streaming implementation is deliberately marked heuristic: its compact seeded schedule and unit expander labels in characteristic two are not the independently labeled paper ensemble. Its full-field convolution still provides the field mixing needed by the VOLE implementation.
Neither profile becomes the default in this PR.
Validation
At 2^20 GF(2^128) correlations, the field-valued RegularEc26x13x4 profile measured 0.792 s median (60.6 MiB/s), versus 0.210 s (228.5 MiB/s) for the current BlkAcc3x32 default. The new profile is therefore proof-motivated and opt-in, not proposed as a speed improvement.
