It's also about security. I would like an implementation that deals, at least, with the most common side-channel attacks.

So Micheal used mostly pairing-friendly curves, that is really what we don't want here. Anyway, he suggested to have a look at the MIRACL library. The problem with this one is that is not open source, it's free just if you use it for fun... _______________________________________________ viff-devel mailing list (http://viff.dk/) viff-devel@viff.dk http://lists.viff.dk/listinfo.cgi/viff-devel-viff.dk
