Pairing-based cryptography is a relatively young area of cryptography
|
||
|
|
that revolves around a certain function with special properties.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PBC (Pairing-Based Cryptography) library is a free C library
|
||
|
|
(released under the GNU Public License) built on the GMP library that
|
||
|
|
performs the mathematical operations underlying pairing-based
|
||
|
|
cryptosystems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PBC library is designed to be the backbone of implementations of
|
||
|
|
pairing-based cryptosystems, thus speed and portability are important
|
||
|
|
goals. It provides routines such as elliptic curve generation, elliptic
|
||
|
|
curve arithmetic and pairing computation. Thanks to the GMP library,
|
||
|
|
despite being written in C, pairings times are reasonable.
