Simulation of a pairing-based identity-based identification scheme in IOS

Pairing-based cryptography have begun to draw attention ever since the work of Boneh and Franklin in 2001 proposing the first identity-based encryption scheme using bilinear pairings. In 2010, Tan et al. developed a pairing library that has running times that is as competitive as Pairing-Based Crypto (PBC) library. However, since Tan et al´s pairing library was written in Java, it was not known to work for other platforms such as iOS. In this work, we adapt Tan et al´s Java library for iOS through the implementation of a pairing-based identity-based identification (IBI) scheme.
