Abstract

We survey recent research on pairings on hyperelliptic curves and present a comparison of the performance characteristics of pairings on elliptic curves and hyperelliptic curves. Our analysis indicates that hyperelliptic curves are not more efficient than elliptic curves for general pairing applications.
