Overview ¶
Package bls implements the Boneh-Lynn-Shacham (BLS) signature scheme which was introduced in the paper "Short Signatures from the Weil Pairing". BLS requires pairing-based cryptography.

Functions ¶
func AggregatePublicKeys ¶
AggregatePublicKeys takes a slice of public G2 points and returns the sum of those points. This is used to verify multisignatures.
func AggregateSignatures ¶
AggregateSignatures combines signatures created using the Sign function
func BatchVerify ¶
BatchVerify verifies a large number of publicKey/msg pairings with a single aggregated signature. Since aggregation is generally much faster than verification, this can be a speed enhancement. Benchmarks show a roughly 50% performance increase over individual signature verification Every msg must be unique or there is the possibility to accept an invalid signature see: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/56288/is-bls-signature-scheme-strongly-unforgeable/56290 for a description of why each message must be unique.
func NewKeyPair ¶
NewKeyPair creates a new BLS signing key pair. The private key x is a scalar and the public key X is a point on curve G2.
func Sign ¶
Sign creates a BLS signature S = x * H(m) on a message m using the private key x. The signature S is a point on curve G1.
