Abstract: | Given a positive integer $n$ and a point $P$ on an elliptic curve $E$, the computation of $nP$, that is, the result of adding $n$ times the point $P$ to itself, called the \emph{scalar multiplication}, is the central operation of elliptic curve cryptosystems. We present an algorithm that, using $p$ processors, can compute $nP$ in time $O(\log n+H(n)/p+\log p)$, where $H(n)$ is the Hamming weight of $n$. Furthermore, if this algorithm is applied to Koblitz curves, the running time can be reduced to $O(H(n)/p+\log p)$. |
