## Detailed Description

Pairing operations.

Provides APIs for defining and using a pairing relationship between two Elliptic Curve Groups.

## Function Documentation

void DeletePairingState | ( | PairingState ** | ps | ) |

Frees a previously allocated by PairingState.

Frees memory pointed to by pairing state. Nulls the pointer.

Parameters

  [in] | ps | The Pairing state. Can be NULL.

EpidStatus NewPairingState | ( | EcGroup const * | ga,
|  | EcGroup const * | gb,
|  | FiniteField * | ff,
|  | BigNumStr const * | t,
|  | bool | neg,
|  | PairingState ** | ps
| ) |  |

Constructs a new Pairing State.

Allocates memory and creates a new Pairing State for Optimal Ate Pairing.

Use DeletePairingState() to free memory.

Parameters

  [in] | ga | The EcGroup from which the first parameter of the pairing is taken.
  [in] | gb | The EcGroup from which the second parameter of the pairing is taken.
  [in] | ff | The result finite field. Must be a Fq12 field.
  [in] | t | A positive integer such that 6(t^2) == q - p, where p and q are parameters of G1.
  [in] | neg | Select the alternate "negate" processing path for Optimal Ate Pairing.
  [out] | ps | Newly constructed Pairing State.

Returns
  EpidStatus

EpidStatus Pairing | ( | PairingState * | ps,
|  | FfElement * | d,
|  | EcPoint const * | a,
|  | EcPoint const * | b
| ) |  |

Computes an Optimal Ate Pairing for two parameters.

Parameters

  [in] | ps | The pairing state.
  [out] | d | The result of the pairing. Will be in ff used to create the pairing state.
  [in] | a | The first value to pair. Must be in ga used to create ps.
  [in] | b | The second value to pair. Must be in gb used to create ps

Returns
