Crate ark_mnt6_298
source ·Expand description
This library implements the MNT6_298 curve generated in [BCTV14]. The name denotes that it is a Miyaji–Nakabayashi–Takano curve of embedding degree 6, defined over a 298-bit (prime) field. The main feature of this curve is that its scalar field and base field respectively equal the base field and scalar field of MNT4_298.
Curve information:
- Base field: q = 475922286169261325753349249653048451545124878552823515553267735739164647307408490559963137
- Scalar field: r = 475922286169261325753349249653048451545124879242694725395555128576210262817955800483758081
