/*@manual aparam
Generate type A 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. Elements take 'qbits' to represent.

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^2, e.g. 'rbits' = 160, 'qbits' = 512.

The file `param/a.param` contains parameters for a type A pairing suitable for
cryptographic use.
