The Apache Milagro Cryptographic Library

Note that the AMCL currently comes in two versions, version 2.2 

and version 3.2

---------------------------------------

AMCL v2.2 is presented in what might be called a pre-library state.

In the various supported languages the source code is made available,

but it is not organised into rigid packages/crates/jars/whatever

It is expected that the consumer will themselves take this final step,

depending on the exact requirements of their project.

Note that version 2.2 is no longer supported.

-----------------------------------

AMCL v3.2 incorporates many minor improvements

Python version

Web Assembly support

Improved side channel resistance

Faster Swift code

Better Rust build system

Improved modular inversion algorithm

General speed optimizations

Improved Javascript testbed

More curves supported

New BLS signature API

Post quantum New Hope Implementation

-----------------------------------

AMCL v3.1 uses a standard Python 3 script to build libraries in all

supported languages. New users should use this version.

The main improvement is that AMCL v3 can optionally simultaneously support 

multiple elliptic curves and RSA key sizes within a single appliction.

Note that AMCL is largely configured at compile time. In version 3 this

configuration is handled by the Python script.

AMCL is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions in most languages. Limited 

support for 16-bit processors is provided by the C version.

Now languages like to remain "standard" irrespective of the underlying 

hardware. However when it comes to optimal performance, it is impossible 

to remain architecture-agnostic. If a processor supports 64-bit 

instructions that operate on 64-bit registers, it will be a waste not to

use them. Therefore the 64-bit language versions should always be used

on 64-bit processors.

Version 3.1 is a major "under the hood" upgrade. Field arithmetic is 

performed using ideas from http://eprint.iacr.org/2017/437 to ensure 

that critical calculations are performed in constant time. This strongly 

mitigates against side-channel attacks. Exception-free formulae are 

now used for Weierstrass elliptic curves. A new standardised script 

builds for the same set of curves across all languages.
