## Introduction

This pure Nim implementation of Barreto-Naehrig pairing-friendly elliptic curve.

This is a [pairing cryptography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing-based_cryptography) library written in pure Nim. It makes use of the Barreto-Naehrig (BN) curve construction from [[BCTV2015]](https://eprint.iacr.org/2013/879.pdf) to provide two cyclic groups **G1** and **G2**, with an efficient bilinear pairing:

*e: G1 × G2 → GT*

This code is adaptation of [bn](https://github.com/zcash-hackworks/bn) library.

## Security warnings

This library, like other pairing cryptography libraries implementing this construction, is not resistant to side-channel attacks.
