## Introduction
|
||
This pure Nim implementation of Barreto-Naehrig pairing-friendly elliptic curve.
|
||
|
||
This is a [pairing cryptography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing-based_cryptography) library written in pure Nim. It makes use of the Barreto-Naehrig (BN) curve construction from [[BCTV2015]](https://eprint.iacr.org/2013/879.pdf) to provide two cyclic groups **G<sub>1</sub>** and **G<sub>2</sub>**, with an efficient bilinear pairing:
|
||
|
||
*e: G<sub>1</sub> × G<sub>2</sub> → G<sub>T</sub>*
|
||
|
||
This code is adaptation of [bn](https://github.com/zcash-hackworks/bn) library.
|
||
|
||
## Security warnings
|
||
|
||
This library, like other pairing cryptography libraries implementing this construction, is not resistant to side-channel attacks.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
