        **Coconut** is a novel selective disclosure credential scheme supporting distributed threshold issuance, public and private attributes, re-randomization, and multiple unlinkable selective attribute revelations. Coconut integrates with blockchains to ensure confidentiality, authenticity and availability even when a subset of credential issuing authorities are malicious or offline. Coconut uses short and computationally efficient credentials, and our [evaluation](https://github.com/asonnino/coconut-timing) shows that most Coconut cryptographic primitives take just a few milliseconds on average, with verification taking the longest time (10 milliseconds). We implement and evaluate a generic Coconut smart contract library for [Chainspace](https://github.com/asonnino/coconut-chainspace) and [Ethereum](https://github.com/asonnino/coconut-ethereum).

        ## Pre-requisites
        **Coconut** is built on top of [petlib](https://github.com/gdanezis/petlib) and [bplib](https://github.com/gdanezis/bplib), make sure to follow [these instructions](https://github.com/gdanezis/petlib#pre-requisites) to install all the pre-requisites.
        
        
        ## Install
        If you have `pip` installed, you can install **Coconut** with the following command:
        ```
        $ pip install coconut-lib
        ```
        otherwise, you can build it manually as below:
        ```
        $ git clone https://github.com/asonnino/coconut
        $ cd coconut
        $ pip install -e .
        ```
        
        
        ## Test
        Tests can be run as follows:
        ```
        $ pytest -v --cov=coconut tests/
        ```
        or simply using tox:
        ```
