rabe is an Attribute Based Encryption library, written in Rust

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 instead of the deprecated rustc_serialize.

This is a rust crate and comes with C bindings. For integration in distributed applications contact us.

Building rabe

In order to compile and test:

• install rust nightly
• git clone library
• install build-essential
• and then run 'cargo build && RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test -- --nocapture'

In order to run on the console use

• target/debug/rabe

For example, in order to create msk and pk of an AC17 KP-ABE scheme run:

$ ./target/debug/rabe --scheme AC17KP setup
