+Generate type E pairing parameters and store them in 'p',
+where the group order r is 'rbits' long, and the order of the base field q
+is 'qbits' long. To be secure, generic discrete log algorithms must
+be infeasible in groups of order r, and finite field discrete log algorithms
+must be infeasible in finite fields of order q,
+e.g. 'rbits' = 160, 'qbits' = 1024.
+
+This pairing is just a curiosity: it can be implemented entirely in a field of
+prime order, that is, only arithmetic modulo a prime is needed and there is
+never a need to extend a field.
+
+If discrete log in field extensions are found to be substantially easier to
+solve than previously thought, or discrete log can be solved in elliptic curves
+as easily as they can be in finite fields, this pairing type may become useful.
