Abstract: This paper explores two techniques on a family of hyperelliptic curves that have been proposed to accelerate computation of scalar multiplication for hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems. In elliptic curve cryptosystems, it is known that Koblitz curves admit fast scalar multiplication, namely, the au-adic non-adjacent form (au-NAF). It is shown that the au-NAF has the three properties: (1) existence, (2) uniqueness, and (3) minimality of the Hamming weight. These properties are not only of intrinsic mathematical interest, but also desirable in some cryptographic applications. On the other hand, G{"u}nther, Lange, and Stein have proposed two generalizations of au-NAF for a family of hyperelliptic curves, called emph{hyperelliptic Koblitz curves}. However, to our knowledge, it is not known whether the three properties are true or not. We provide an answer to the question. Our investigation shows that the first one has only the existence and the second one has the existence and uniqueness. Furthermore, we shall prove that there exist 16 digit sets so that one can achieve the second one.
