Abstract

The Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture enables to compute in parallel on a single processor. The SIMD operations are implemented on some processors such as Pentium 3/4, Athlon, SPARC, and even on smart cards. This paper proposes efficient algorithms for assembling an elliptic curve addition (ECADD), doubling (ECDBL), and k-iterated ECDBL (k-ECDBL) with SIMD operations. Using the singed binary chain, we can compute a scalar multiplication about 10% faster than the previously fastest algorithm by Aoki et al. Combined with the sliding window method or the width-w NAF window method, we also achieve about 10% faster parallelized scalar multiplication algorithms with SIMD operations. For the implementation on smart cards, we propose two fast parallelized scalar multiplication algorithms with SIMD resistant against side channel attacks.
