C implementations of pairing-based examples? #6

Closed chris-wood closed 9 years ago

chris-wood commented 10 years ago

Is there a way to easily convert the existing pairing-based examples, e.g., bgw.cpp, to a C implementation, or does such implementations already exist?

Thanks!

Hello Chris,

Short answer is No. However we have done such conversions ourselves...

I do recall talking with you last summer, but I can't remember what we discussed, nor can I find the email chain! In any case, would it be overly difficult to convert this code to C? Can you provide any pointers, or maybe your own conversions?

Not sure if you got my earlier reply on this, which was along the lines of no, its not trivial, but yes we have done something like this ourselves internally.

Assuming you are talking about BN curves and pairings, most of the pairing code is implemented in C already, except the F_p^{12]} extension code, which amounts to a translation of zzn12a.cpp from C++ to C.
