It provides an interface for +cyclic groups and a bilinear pairing defined on them that are thought to +be cryptographically secure. The interface abstracts the mathematical details +away from the programmer, so no knowledge of elliptic curves is needed to use +the library. + +The PBC library also contains routines to generate curves suitable for use +in a bilinear pairing. + +See the online manual for more information. The DocBook source files that +are used to create the manual are in the doc/ subdirectory. + +The PBC library is released under the GNU General Public License. See the +file COPYING for details. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Ben Lynn <blynn@cs.stanford.edu> |
