TY - BOOK AU - Mrabet, Nadia EI TI - Guide to pairing-based cryptography SN - 9781498729505 U1 - 005.82 MRA-N PY - 2017/// CY - Boca Raton PB - CRC Press KW - Sets of pairs of functions to be distinguished KW - Cryptography KW - Curves, Elliptic N1 - This book is devoted to efficient pairing computations and implementations, useful tools for cryptographers working on topics like identity-based cryptography and the simplification of existing protocols like signature schemes. As well as exploring the basic mathematical background of finite fields and elliptic curves, Guide to Pairing-Based Cryptography offers an overview of the most recent developments in optimizations for pairing implementation. Each chapter includes a presentation of the problem it discusses, the mathematical formulation, a discussion of implementation issues, solutions accompanied by code or pseudocode, several numerical results, and references to further reading and notes. Intended as a self-contained handbook, this book is an invaluable resource for computer scientists, applied mathematicians and security professionals interested in cryptography ER -
