Part of my work for Ocelot (ocelot.net) included researching an HIBE-like system for managing keys and permissions. I used pairings.py's bn256 curve code to implement the Setup, KeyGen, Encrypt, and Decrypt functions from Dan Boneh's HIBE paper, available here: https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/shibe.pdf These functions currently work as desired but require further effort to encode arbitrary messages as pairings on the curve.

Thank you this is great. I am pretty busy right now but I'll try to review this soon, and also think about the encoding issue. |

Hey @randombit, think you'll have time sometime soon to take a look? I want to be respective of your time but also would love to learn how to do the encoding! |

We decided to contribute this code into your repo because you actually have a TODO item specifically for implementing IBE.
