+Description: Pairing-Based Cryptography Library
+ 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 Lesser GNU Public License) built on the GMP library that performs
+ the mathematical operations underlying pairing-based cryptosystem.
+ 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.
+ The API is abstract enough that the PBC library can be used even if the
+ programmer possesses only an elementary understanding of pairings. There is
+ no need to learn about elliptic curves or much of number theory. (The minimum
+ requirement is some knowledge of cyclic groups and properties of the
+ pairing.)
+ This tutorial shows how to implement a pairing-based cryptosystem in a few
+ lines using the PBC library.
+ The PBC library can also be used to build conventional cryptosystems.
