Abstract

We present a Java implementation for Tate pairing over the supersingular curve y 2 = x 3 + x in \(\mathbb{F}_p\). We show some available optimisations for group operations by manipulating the mathematical equations. Besides, we also show that it is easy to hash a string into a point for our chosen parameters. A variant of Java’s BigInteger data type, namely CpxBigInteger is created to serve equation with complex number and the Java data types are constructed: Curve, Point and Line based on CpxBigInteger. Using these data types and J2SE JDK 1.6.0_02, we implement BLS identity-based identification (IBI) scheme, which is the first rigorously defined pairing-based IBI scheme. The timings show that the Tate pairing took only 133.12 milliseconds.
