Fast scalar multiplication of degenerate divisors for hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems

作者:

Highlights:

• The arithmetic of reduced divisor classes can be interpreted by the intersection of a quadratic parabola with the hyperelliptic curve.

• Explicit formulas for the arithmetic of reduced divisor classes when the degenerate divisor is involved are proposed by exploiting Jacobian coordinates.

• An efficiency analysis shows that the degenerate divisor as a base element can be a valid alternative in hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems as well.
