Collecting these proof components into their own structures is up to implementations. Future versions of this specification may describe an encoding.

The algorithm for this proof is the "proof of knowledge of exponent" (PoKE*) from [this paper][IOP Batching Boneh], made non-interactive via the Fiat-Shamir heuristic.

The number $l$ from the protocol is derived via SHA-3-hashing the big-endian bytes of the modulus, base, commitment and a counter. The base is the accumulator state before the elements were added and the commitment is the state after.
The counter is the lowest 32-bit number that makes the first 128-bit truncated hash prime, if interpreted as a little-endian unsigned 128-bit integer.
