This library implements a twisted Edwards curve whose base field is the scalar field of the
curve BLS12-377. This allows defining cryptographic primitives that use elliptic curves over
the scalar field of the latter curve. This curve was generated as part of the paper
[BCGMMW20, “Zexe”].
Curve information:
