Pairing Cryptography

Cryptography based on bilinear pairings between elliptic-curve groups, enabling systems such as BLS signatures and some zero-knowledge proofs.

Definition

Cryptography based on bilinear pairings between elliptic-curve groups, enabling systems such as BLS signatures and some zero-knowledge proofs.

Why it matters
