Pairing-based Signature Schemes

About

The PBC_sig signatures library contains signatures schemes that depend on a bilinear map (aka pairing), though in future conventional signature schemes may be added. PBC_sig is a free C library (released under the GNU Public License), and built upon the PBC pairing-based cryptography library.

Schemes implemented include:

  • Boneh-Boyen short signatures

  • Boneh-Boyen-Shacham short group signatures

  • Boneh-Lynn-Shacham short signatures

  • Cha-Cheon identity-based signatures
