BBS Signature FFI Wrapper

This repository is home to a foreign function interface (FFI) wrapper around the Rust based bbs crate maintained by the Hyperledger Ursa project.

BBS+ Signatures are a digital signature algorithm originally born from the work on Short group signatures by Boneh, Boyen, and Shachum which was later improved on in Constant-Size Dynamic k-TAA as BBS+ and touched on again in section 4.3 in Anonymous Attestation Using the Strong Diffie Hellman Assumption Revisited .

BBS+ Signatures require a pairing-friendly curve, this library includes support for BLS12-381.

BBS+ Signatures allow for multi-message signing whilst producing a single output signature. With a BBS signature, a proof of knowledge based proof can be produced where only some of the originally signed messages are revealed at the discretion of the prover.
