It provides an abstract interface to a cyclic +group with a bilinear pairing, insulating the programmer from mathematical +details. Knowledge of elliptic curves is optional. + +The PBC library is built on top of the GMP library, and the PBC API is strongly +influenced by the GMP API. Accordingly, this manual tries to imitate the look +and feel of the GMP manual. + +The PBC library homepage: http://crypto.stanford.edu/pbc/[http://crypto.stanford.edu/pbc/] + +The GMP library homepage: http://www.swox.com/gmp/[http://www.swox.com/gmp/] |
