Abstract:

Since their introduction in constructive cryptographic applications, pairings over (hyper)elliptic curves are at the heart of an ever increasing number of protocols. Software implementations being rather slow, the study of hardware architectures became an active research area. In this paper, we discuss several algorithms to compute the \eta_T pairing in characteristic three and suggest further improvements. These algorithms involve addition, multiplication, cubing, inversion, and sometimes cube root extraction over \mathbb{F}_{3^m}. We propose a hardware accelerator based on a unified arithmetic operator able to perform the operations required by a given algorithm. We describe the implementation of a compact coprocessor for the field \mathbb{F}_{3^{97}} given by \mathbb{F}_3[x]/(x^{97}+x^{12}+2), which compares favorably with other solutions described in the open literature.
