Functions

func NewKeyPair

func NewKeyPair(suite suites.Suite, random cipher.Stream) (kyber.Scalar, kyber.Point)

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

func Sign(suite suites.Suite, x kyber.Scalar, msg []byte) ([]byte, error)

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.

func Verify

func Verify(suite suites.Suite, X kyber.Point, msg, sig []byte) error

Verify checks the given BLS signature S on the message m using the public key X by verifying that the equality e(H(m), X) == e(H(m), x*B2) == e(x*H(m), B2) == e(S, B2) holds where e is the pairing operation and B2 is the base point from curve G2.
