Abstract

Recently, Dimitrov et. al. [5] proposed a novel algorithm for scalar multiplication of points on elliptic Koblitz curves that requires a provably sublinear number of point additions in the size of the scalar. Following some ideas used by this article, most notably double-base expansions for integers, we generalize their methods to hyperelliptic Koblitz curves of arbitrary genus over any finite field, obtaining a scalar multiplication algorithm requiring a sublinear number of divisor additions.
