// Package bn256 implements a particular bilinear group.
//
// Bilinear groups are the basis of many of the new cryptographic protocols
// that have been proposed over the past decade. They consist of a triplet of
// groups (G₁, G₂ and GT) such that there exists a function e(g₁ˣ,g₂ʸ)=gTˣʸ
// (where gₓ is a generator of the respective group). That function is called
// a pairing function.
//
// This package specifically implements the Optimal Ate pairing over a 256-bit
// Barreto-Naehrig curve as described in
// http://cryptojedi.org/papers/dclxvi-20100714.pdf. Its output is compatible
// with the implementation described in that paper.
//
// (This package previously claimed to operate at a 128-bit security level.
// However, recent improvements in attacks mean that is no longer true. See
// https://moderncrypto.org/mail-archive/curves/2016/000740.html.)
