Abstract

In pairing-based cryptosystems, radix-r signed-digit representations are used to speed up point multiplication over supersingular elliptic curves or hyper-elliptic curves in characteristic r. We propose a left-to-right radix-r signed-digit recoding algorithm, which can obtain a new signed-digit representation from left to right. It is proved that its average non-zero density is asymptotically 1/2- 2r+3/2r(r+1)2, which is reduced by 20%-50% compared with the previous left-to-right radix-r signed-digit representations. The proposed algorithm can be applied to efficient implementations of pairing-based cryptosystems over supersingular elliptic curves or hyper-elliptic curves.
