Abstract
In this chapter we present the Cryptographic Engine which provides the cryptographic functionality used in the ABC Engine, such as issuance or presentation of credentials. We first describe the architecture of the Cryptographic Engine, explain the building blocks it uses, and explain how they are bound together. We then describe the cryptographic primitives that the library uses to instantiate those building blocks.
