Paper 2012/345 Breaking pairing-based cryptosystems using $\eta_T$ pairing over $GF(3^{97})$ Takuya Hayashi, Takeshi Shimoyama, Naoyuki Shinohara, and Tsuyoshi Takagi Abstract There are many useful cryptographic schemes, such as ID-based encryption, short signature, keyword searchable encryption, attribute-based encryption, functional encryption, that use a bilinear pairing. It is important to est
