Lib.rs

This library implements the BLS12_381 curve generated by Sean Bowe. The name denotes that it is a Barreto--Lynn--Scott curve of embedding degree 12, defined over a 381-bit (prime) field. This curve was intended to replace the BN254 curve to provide a higher security level without incurring a large performance overhead.
