A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Barreto-Naehrig Curves Authors : Kohei Kasamatsu Satoru Kanno Tetsutaro Kobayashi Yuto Kawahara Filename : draft-kasamatsu-bncurves-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2014-01-09 Abstract: Elliptic curves with pairing are useful tools for constructing cryptographic primitives. In this memo, we specify domain parameters of Barreto-Naehrig curve (BN-curve) [5]. The BN-curve is an elliptic curve suitable for pairings and allows us to achieve high security and efficiency of cryptographic schemes. This memo specifies domain parameters of two 254-bit BN-curves [1] [2] which allow us to obtain efficient implementations and domain parameters of 224, 256, 384, and 512-bit BN-curves which are compliant with ISO/IEC 15946-5[3]. Furthermore, this memo organizes differences between types of elliptic curves specified in ISO document and often used in open source softwares, which are called M-type and D-type respectively[21].
