Pairings in Cryptography

From SIAG-AG

Pairings on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves have many applications in cryptography, including identity based cryptography, cryptographic key agreement, digital signatures, and others. While recent advances in discrete logarithm computations over fields of small characteristic have had a significant impact on this area, pairings over fields of large characteristic continue to be of widespread interest.
