BLS signatures draft standard, reference implementations

This repository contains reference implementations of the BLS signatures draft standard.

Note: this code is WIP. It has not been audited for security, should not be assumed to be constant-time or otherwise secure, and the details may change at any time as the BLS standard evolves.

This code started as a fork of bls12-381_hash. (That repository also contains an implementation in C.)

implementation status

Please see the READMEs in each subdirectory for information on particular implementations. In brief,

  • The Python and Rust implementations include all functionality currently specified in the standard, plus serialization and deserialization based on the ZCash spec.

  • The Sage implementation does not implement verification, only hashing, signing, and proof-of-possession generation.

  • The Python implementation uses the Python finite field implementation from Chia's BLS library.

  • The Rust implementation is based on the Rust pairing_fork library.
