Identity-Based Cryptography Standard #1: Supersingular Curve Implementations of the BF and BB1 Cryptosystems
RFC 5091, “Identity-Based Cryptography Standard #1: Supersingular Curve Implementations of the BF and BB1 Cryptosystems”, is an Informational document published in December 2007 by X. Boyen, L. Martin. It has since been updated by RFC 8996. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the algorithms that implement Boneh-Franklin (BF) and Boneh-Boyen (BB1) Identity-based Encryption. This document is in part based on IBCS #1 v2 of Voltage Security's Identity-based Cryptography Standards (IBCS) documents, from which some irrelevant sections have been removed to create the content of this document. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
