rabe is a rust library implementing several Attribute Based Encryption (ABE) schemes using a modified version of the bn library of zcash (type-3 pairing / Baretto Naering curve). The modification of bn brings in serde or borsh instead of the deprecated rustc_serialize.
The standard serialization library is serde. If you want to use borsh, you need to specify it as feature.

The YCT14 scheme was broken in [1] and a 'fixed' version was again broken in [2]. Demonstration how the attack can be implemented in practice in https://www.blackhat.com/eu-21/briefings/schedule/index.html#practical-attacks-against-attribute-based-encryption-25058.

In order to compile and test:
- install rust nightly
- git clone library
- install build-essential
- and then run
cargo build --release && RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test -- --nocapture - rabe is also available with borsh serialization. just add
--no-default-features --features borshto the build command
