An Improvement of the Elliptic Net Algorithm
Bing-Long Chen, Chang‐An Zhao · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 2015
In this paper we propose a modified Elliptic Net algorithm to compute pairings. By reducing the number of the intermediate variables which should be updated in the iteration loop of the Elliptic Net algorithm, we speed up the computation of pairings. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more efficient than the original Elliptic Net algorithm on Barreto-Naehrig (BN) curves which are the best choice for implementing pairings at 128-bit security level.
