Achieving warp speed with Rust

Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

Pairings can be used for all kinds of advanced cryptographic schemes such as Encryption (Identity-based, Attribute-based, Predicate-based, etc.), Signatures, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, etc. It is in no particular order.

Provides multiple types of Elliptic Curve groups with appropriate pairings on top of them. Code repository resides here.
