Building the Draft

Formatted text and HTML versions of the draft can be built using make.

$ make

This requires that you have the necessary software installed. See the instructions.

Reference Implementations

The purpose of these implementations is for generating test vectors and enabling cross compatibility with other implementations.

These implementations are for reference only. They MUST NOT be used in production systems.

• Sage
• Go: v06, v05
• Rust: v06, v05

Other Implementations

This is a (likely incomplete) list of other libraries that have implemented hash-to-curve per the standard.

• libsodium
• MIRACL Core
• pairing-plus
• RELIC

If you know of another library that supports a compliant hash-to-curve implementation and would like us to list it here, please open a PR.
