+/*@manual a1param
+Generate type A1 pairing parameters and store them in 'p'. The group order
+will be 'n'. The order of the base field is a few bits longer. To be secure,
+generic discrete log algorithms must be infeasible in groups of order 'n', and
+finite field discrete log algorithms must be infeasible in finite fields of
+order roughly 'n'^2^. Additionally, 'n' should be hard to factorize.
+
+For example: 'n' a product of two primes, each at least 512 bits.
+
+The file `param/a1.param` contains sample parameters for a
+type A1 pairing, but it is only for benchmarking: it is useless without
+the factorization of +n+, the order of the group.
