Detailed Description

Pairing operations.

Provides APIs for defining and using a pairing relationship between two elliptic curve groups.

Function Documentation

void DeletePairingState ( PairingState ** ps )

Frees a previously allocated by PairingState.

Frees memory pointed to by pairing state. Nulls the pointer.

Parameters

[in] ps The pairing state. Can be NULL.

EpidStatus NewPairingState	(	EcGroup const *	ga,
		EcGroup const *	gb,
		FiniteField *	ff,
		BigNumStr const *	t,
		bool	neg,
		PairingState **	ps
	)

Constructs a new pairing state.

Allocates memory and creates a new pairing state for Optimal Ate Pairing.

Parameters

[in]	ga	The EcGroup from which the first parameter of the pairing is taken.
[in]	gb	The EcGroup from which the second parameter of the pairing is taken.
[in]	ff	The result finite field. Must be a Fq12 field.
[in]	t	A positive integer such that 6(t^2) == q - p, where p and q are parameters of G1.
[in]	neg	Select the alternate "negate" processing path for Optimal Ate Pairing.
[out]	ps	Newly constructed pairing state.

Computes an Optimal Ate Pairing for two parameters.

Parameters

[in]	ps	The pairing state.
[out]	d	The result of the pairing. Will be in ff used to create the pairing state.
[in]	a	The first value to pair. Must be in ga used to create ps.
[in]	b	The second value to pair. Must be in gb used to create ps
