| AMCL is very simple to build for Java. This version is optimal for a 32-bit |
| (or less) Virtual Machine. |
| |
| First - decide the modulus type and curve type you want to use. Edit ROM.java |
| where indicated. You might want to use one of the curves whose details are |
| already in there. |
| |
| Three example API files are provided, MPIN.java which |
| supports our M-Pin (tm) protocol, ECDH.java which supports elliptic |
| curve key exchange, digital signature and public key crypto, and RSA.java |
| which supports the RSA method. The first can be tested using the |
| TestMPIN.java driver programs, the second can be tested using TestECDH.java |
| and TestECM.java, and the third with TestRSA.java |
| |
| In the ROM.java file you must provide the curve constants. Several examples |
| are provided there, if you are willing to use one of these. |
| |
| To help generate the ROM constants for your own curve some MIRACL helper |
| programs are included. The program bngen.cpp generates the ROM details for a |
| BN curve, and the program ecgen.cpp generates the ROM for EC curves. |
| |
| The program bigtobig.cpp converts a big number to the AMCL |
| BIG format. |
| |
| Don't forget to delete all .class files before rebuilding projects. |
| |
| For a quick jumpstart:- |
| |
| del *.class |
| javac TestMPIN.java |
| java TestMPIN |
