Speeding up Ate Pairing Computation in Affine Coordinates
At Pairing 2010, Lauter et al\u27s analysis showed that Ate pairing computation in affine coordinates may be much faster than projective coordinates at high security levels. In this paper, we further investigate techniques to speed up Ate pairing computation in affine coordinates.
On the one hand, we improve Ate pairing computation over elliptic curves admitting an even twist by describing an -ary Miller algorithm in affine coordinates. This technique allows us to trade one multiplication in the full extension field and one field inversion for several multiplications in a smaller field. On the other hand, we investigate pairing computations over elliptic curves admitting a twist of degree . We propose new fast explicit formulas for Miller function that are comparable to formulas over even twisted curves. We further analyze pairing computation on cubic twisted curves by proposing efficient subfamilies of pairing-friendly elliptic curves with embedding degrees , and . These subfamilies allow us not only to obtain a very simple form of curve, but also lead to an efficient arithmetic and final exponentiation
Efficient Final Exponentiation via Cyclotomic Structure for Pairings over Families of Elliptic Curves
The final exponentiation, which is the exponentiation by a fixed large exponent, must be performed in the Tate and (optimal) Ate pairing computation to ensure output uniqueness, algorithmic correctness, and security for pairing-based cryptography. In this paper, we propose a new framework of efficient final exponentiation for pairings over families of elliptic curves. Our framework provides two methods: the first method supports families of elliptic curves with arbitrary embedding degrees, and the second method supports families with specific embedding degrees of providing even faster algorithms. Applying our framework to several Barreto-Lynn-Scott families, we obtain faster final exponentiation than the previous state-of-the-art constructions
Optimal Ate Pairing on Elliptic Curves with Embedding Degree and
Much attention has been given to the efficient computation of pairings on
elliptic curves with even embedding degree since the advent of pairing-based
cryptography. The few existing works in the case of odd embedding degrees
require some improvements. This paper considers the computation of optimal ate
pairings on elliptic curves of embedding degrees , , which have
twists of order three. Our main goal is to provide a detailed arithmetic and
cost estimation of operations in the tower extensions field of the
corresponding extension fields. A good selection of parameters enables us to
improve the theoretical cost for the Miller step and the final exponentiation
using the lattice-based method as compared to the previous few works that exist
in these cases. In particular, for , , we obtain an improvement, in
terms of operations in the base field, of up to 25% and 29% respectively in the
computation of the final exponentiation. We also find that elliptic curves with
embedding degree present faster results than BN12 curves at the 128-bit
security level. We provide a MAGMA implementation in each case to ensure the
correctness of the formulas used in this work.Comment: 25 page
Speeding up Ate Pairing Computation in Affine Coordinates
Abstract. At Pairing 2010, Lauter et al’s analysis showed that Ate pairing computation in affine coordinates may be much faster than projective coordinates at high security levels. In this paper, we further investigate techniques to speed up Ate pairing computation in affine coordinates. We first analyze Ate pairing computation using 4-ary Miller algorithm in affine coordinates. This technique allows us to trade one multiplication in the full extension field and one field inversion for several multiplications in a smaller field. Then, we focus on pairing computations over elliptic curves admitting a twist of degree 3. We propose new fast explicit formulas for Miller function that are comparable to formulas over even twisted curves. We further analyze pairing computation on cubic twisted curves by proposing efficient subfamilies of pairing-friendly elliptic curves with embedding degrees k = 9, and 15. These subfamilies allow us not only to obtain a very simple form of curve, but also lead to an efficient arithmetic and final exponentiation
