OK!

This is a cross-check as a co-author.

Section 2.2: You can start by defining what a bilinear pairing is and its properties with respect to abstract groups. After that you can describe how these groups are instantiated using the torsion-r subgroups of elliptic curves.

Note the distinction between: F_q-rational points are those with coordinates in F_q. and F_q^k-rational points are those with coordinates in F_q^k.

E(F_q^k): the group of rational points of E.

E(F_q^k): the number of rational points of E.

Thank you for your suggestion! I'm sorry, but I think there is not a big problem because this part has passed Expert Review.

Both BN, BLS, and KSS are families of pairing-friendly curves. Consider to rewrite sentences like this one: "A BN curve [BN05] is one of the instantiations of pairing-friendly curves proposed in 2005".

Thank you for your comments. We revised the part pointed out according to your comments.

This sentence is redundant as p is prime. " b is an element of a multiplicative group (F_p)^* of order (p - 1)"

Thanks for your comment. A similar comment was also made by Rene, which we have revised based on that as well.

All of these comments were already addressed in v08, fell free to close this issue.
