Title:
On the Selection of Pairing-Friendly Groups

Authors: Paulo S. L. M. Barreto, Ben Lynn, Michael Scott

Abstract:

We propose a simple algorithm to select group generators suitable for pairing-based cryptosystems. The selected parameters are shown to favor implementations of the Tate pairing that are at once conceptually simple and efficient, with an observed performance about 2 to 10 times better than previously reported implementations, depending on the embedding degree. Our algorithm has beneficial side effects: various non-pairing operations become faster, and bandwidth may be saved.
