The Wonderful BLS12 Curves … Just Ready For a Privacy-Respecting World

--

Within elliptic curves, we can have a scalar value (a) and a base point on the curve (G). We then perform an add operation to produce another point on the curve as aG. This is the equivalent operation of adding the point G for a times. Normally we would define aG as a public key point, and a as a private key scalar value. Typically these operations are done within a…
