Hello, The work we have already done in Zeus involves using pairing-based elliptic curve cryptography. We do not plan to create a new algorithm (that’s well beyond the scope of GSoC). However, even for existing algorithms, there are a number of issues: * Which implementation should one use? There are some open source implementations available, at varying degrees of maturity. * How to make sure the implementation is efficient? Can we benchmark and choose an implementation? * How can we wrap the implementation so as to use it from Python? There is also a development front going on that is more algorithmic in nature. The pairing-based algorithms we have implemented need a Common Reference String (CRS) to be created. We have a broad idea how this could be done, but we have not worked out the details. So an open item for us is exactly to find and implement a CRS generation mechanism.

I would like to know if it requires a new implementation of elliptic curve cryptography or the use of an already existing implemetation. Also, if you could provide additional details about the project, it would be really helpful. > > Thank you > Despoina Chochtoula > > ---- > Λαμβάνετε αυτό το μήνυμα απο την λίστα: Γενική λίστα αλληλογραφίας που απευθύνεται σε developers/contributors έργων ανοικτού λογισμικού - A general discussion list for developers/contributors of open-source projects, > https://lists.ellak.gr/opensource-devs/listinfo.html > > Μπορείτε να απεγγραφείτε από τη λίστα στέλνοντας κενό μήνυμα ηλ. ταχυδρομείου στη διεύθυνση <opensource-devs+unsubscribe [ at ] ellak [ dot ] gr>.
