About TEPLA
TEPLA (University of Tsukuba Elliptic Curve and Pairing Library) is a software library for development of applications or systems of cryptographic algorithms using pairings. Pairing is a bilinear map which has 2 inputs and 1 output. Our library implements the functions necessary for pairings, such as calculation of points on elliptic curves, calculation of elements on finite fields, etc.
TEPLA is written in C language and allows the use of pairing-based cryptography in different platforms.
TEPLA supports the following calculations:
- Calculation on element on Finite Fields (prime field of 254 bits, quadratic, 6th and 12th extension fields）
- Calculation on Elliptic Curve (Barreto-Naehrig (BN) curve)
- Calculation of Pairings (Optimal Ate pairing on BN curve)
