Bilinear Map Cryptography

Definition

Bilinear Map Cryptography utilizes mathematical functions that take two inputs from distinct groups and produce an output in a third group, preserving certain algebraic properties. This cryptographic primitive enables advanced functionalities such as identity-based encryption, short signatures, and zero-knowledge proofs. Its efficiency in generating verifiable proofs without revealing underlying data makes it a powerful tool in modern cryptographic constructions. The mathematical properties allow for complex operations to be performed securely.
