Programs that generate pairing parameters are located in the gen
subdirectory. Some of the programs are already functional enough to be used to
find parameters for real applications. I need to write more documentation
first; for now, read the source!
-
listmnt
-
Searches for discriminants D that lead to MNT curves with subgroups
of prime order.
-
genaparam, gena1param, gendparam, geneparam, genfparam
-
Prints parameters for a curve suitable for computing pairings of a given type.
The output can be fed to some of the other test programs. The program
gendparam should be given a discriminant as the first argument.
-
hilbertpoly
-
Prints the Hilbert polynomial for a given discriminant (the first argument).
Computing the Hilbert polynomial is an intermediate step when generating
type D parameters.
