Abstract

In many aspects, cryptanalyses of pairing based cryptography consider protocol level security and take difficulties of primitives for granted. In this survey, we consider pairing inversion. At the time this manuscript was written(April 2007), to the best of the author’s knowledge, there are neither known feasible algorithms for pairing inversions nor published proofs that the problem is unfeasible.
