miracl-大数运算库,大家使用有什么问题请多多提意见

MIRACL contains several optimized implementations of pairings over various 
fields.

A suite of IBE programs are described in the file IBE.TXT

The fastest pairing code over F_p can be found in the files ake2.cpp and
ake2ss.cpp, which implements a simple key exchange protocol, using non-
supersingular and supersingular curves respectively. 
This uses an embedding degree of k=2, so the pairing e(P,Q) evaluates 
naturally as an element in F_p^2. P is a point on the elliptic curve E(Fp) and 
Q is a point on E'(F_p^{k/2}), or in this case E'(F_p) where E' is the twisted 
curve. Using compression the pairing evaluates as an element in F_p^{k/2}, or 
just Fp in this case.

For higher levels of security it is recommended to increase the embedding 
degree and use non-supersingular curves - see ake4.cpp and ake8.cpp for 
examples. We use a "tower of extensions" to build an Fp^4 class on top of an 
Fp^2 class - see zzn2.h and zzn4.h

****** New *******

These example programs use the new power-pairing idea, which calculates
E(P,Q,e) = e(P,Q)^e at no (significant) extra cost. See comments in programs.

curve.
