Implementing Pairing-Based Cryptography: How to find and compute pairings - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Pairing-based cryptography is a relatively youngfield revolving around a family of functions known aspairings, or bilinear maps, whose remarkableproperties allow the creation of novelcryptosystems that are otherwise difficult orimpossible to construct. This book beginsby giving abstract definitions of pairings andrelated hardness problems, and showing how they areused in cryptography. Later chapters discuss methodsfor finding elliptic curves yielding suitablepairings, along with algorithms for computing onthem. The final chapters describe vitaloptimizations. Aside from low-level arithmetic, thistext quotes algorithms unlikely to be taught in abasic course in abstract algebra, enabling amathematically inclined programmer to implementpairings without referring to any other sources.
