Rabe

rabe is a rust library implementing several Attribute Based Encryption (ABE) schemes using a modified version of the bn library of zcash (type-3 pairing / Baretto Naering curve). The modification of bn brings in serde or borsh instead of the deprecated rustc_serialize. The standard serialization library is serde. If you want to use borsh, you need to specify it as feature.

Building rabe lib

In order to compile and test:

  • install rust nightly
  • git clone library
  • install build-essential
  • and then run cargo build --release && RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test -- --nocapture
  • rabe is also available with borsh serialization. just add --features borsh to build command

Building rabe console app

See README.md
