Title:
A Dedicated Processor for the eta Pairing

Authors: Robert Ronan, Colm O hEigeartaigh, Colin Murphy, Michael Scott, Tim Kerins, W. P. Marnane

Abstract:

The \eta pairing is an efficient computation technique based on a generalization of the Duursma Lee method for calculating the Tate pairing. The pairing can be computed very efficiently on genus 2 hyperelliptic curves. In this paper it is demonstrated that this pairing operation is well suited to a dedicated parallel hardware implementation. An \eta pairing processor is described in detail and the architectures required for such a system are discussed. Prototype implementation results are presented over a base field of \mathbb{F}_{2^{103}} and the advantages of implementing the pairing on the dedicated processor are discussed.
