Abstract

We present improvements to algorithms for efficient exponentiation. The fractional window technique is a generalization of the sliding window and window NAF approach; it can be used to improve performance in devices with limited storage. Window NAF splitting is an efficient technique for exponentiation with precomputation for fixed bases in groups where inversion is easy (e.g. elliptic curves).
