Title:
Faster Computation of Self-pairings

Authors: Chang-An Zhao, Fangguo Zhang, Dongqing Xie

Abstract:

Self-pairings have found interesting applications in cryptographic schemes. In this paper, we present a novel method for constructing a self-pairing on supersingular elliptic curves with even embedding degrees, which we call the Ateil pairing. This new pairing improves the efficiency of the self-pairing computation on supersingular curves over finite fields with large characteristics. Based on the \eta_T pairing, we propose a generalization of the Ateil pairing, which we call the Ateil$_i$ pairing. The optimal Ateil$_i$ pairing which has the shortest Miller loop is faster than previously known self-pairings on supersingular elliptic curves over finite fields with small characteristics. We also present a new self-pairing based on the Weil pairing which is faster than the self-pairing based on the Tate pairing on ordinary elliptic curves with embedding degree one.
