About:
pbc-sig is a C library providing signature schemes based on bilinear pairings. It is part of the Pairing-Based Cryptography (PBC) library suite, designed to work with the PBC library. The library offers implementations of cryptographic primitives like Boneh-Boyen signatures, enabling developers to build advanced security applications.
Key Features:
  • Implements pairing-based signature schemes
  • C library for integration into native applications
  • Companion library to the core PBC library
  • Provides foundational primitives for identity-based cryptography
Use Cases:
  • Implementing advanced digital signature schemes in C
  • Research and development in pairing-based cryptography
  • Building identity-based cryptosystems
Alternatives:
  • OpenSSL – Standard library for general cryptography, but does not natively support pairing-based operations.
  • RELIC Toolkit – A broader cryptographic toolkit that includes pairing operations and more advanced protocols.
