The pairing computation on Edwards curves (Q460158): Difference between revisions

Summary: We propose an elaborate geometry approach to explain the group law on twisted Edwards curves which are seen as the intersection of quadric surfaces in place. Using the geometric interpretation of the group law, we obtain the Miller function for Tate pairing computation on twisted Edwards curves. Then we present the explicit formulae for pairing computation on twisted Edwards curves. Our formulae for the doubling step are a little faster than that proposed by \textit{C. Arène} et al. [J. Number Theory 131, No. 5, 842--857 (2011; Zbl 1222.14069)]. Finally, to improve the efficiency of pairing computation, we present twists of degrees 4 and 6 on twisted Edwards curves.
