Title:
Parallel Algorithm for Multiplication on Elliptic Curves

Authors: Juan Manuel Garcia Garcia, Rolando Menchaca Garcia

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).
