Pairing-based cryptography is used in the KZG cryptographic commitment scheme. A contemporary example of using bilinear pairings is exemplified in the BLS digital signature scheme. [3] Pairing-based cryptography relies on hardness assumptions separate from e.g. the elliptic-curve cryptography, which is older and has been studied for a longer time.
A BLS digital signature, also known as Boneh–Lynn–Shacham [1] (BLS), is a cryptographic signature scheme which allows a user to verify that a signer is authentic.. The scheme uses a bilinear pairing:, where ,, and are elliptic curve groups of prime order , and a hash function from the message space into .
The security of the EdDSA signature scheme depends critically on the choices of parameters, except for the arbitrary choice of base point—for example, Pollard's rho algorithm for logarithms is expected to take approximately / curve additions before it can compute a discrete logarithm, [5] so must be large enough for this to be infeasible, and ...
A pairing heap is a type of heap data structure with relatively simple implementation and excellent practical amortized performance, introduced by Michael Fredman, Robert Sedgewick, Daniel Sleator, and Robert Tarjan in 1986. [1] Pairing heaps are heap-ordered multiway tree structures, and can be considered simplified Fibonacci heaps.
A key encapsulation mechanism, to securely transport a secret key from a sender to a receiver, consists of three algorithms: Gen, Encap, and Decap. Circles shaded blue—the receiver's public key and the encapsulation —can be safely revealed to an adversary, while boxes shaded red—the receiver's private key and the encapsulated secret key —must be kept secret.
A pairing can also be considered as an R-linear map: (,), which matches the first definition by setting ():= (,). A pairing is called perfect if the above map Φ {\displaystyle \Phi } is an isomorphism of R -modules.

In mathematics, specifically algebraic geometry, a scheme is a structure that enlarges the notion of algebraic variety in several ways, such as taking account of multiplicities (the equations x = 0 and x 2 = 0 define the same algebraic variety but different schemes) and allowing "varieties" defined over any commutative ring (for example, Fermat curves are defined over the integers).
