Cryptography

The program use a special digital signature algorithm satisfying a property called Publicly Key-Homomorphic investigated by David Derler and Daniel Slamanig. According to their paper, the program adopts the Boneh–Lynn–Shacham signature scheme (BLS) over bilinear elliptical curve, which satisfy Perfect Public Adaptabilit. And the curve we used is BLS12-381, investigated by Zcash team.

The program uses an elliptical curve based Boneh–Lynn–Shacham digital signature implemented in relic-toolkit, an Efficient LIbrary for Cryptography, by D. F. Aranha and C. P. L. Gouvea. Really appreciate the toolkit.
