Title:
Random Digit Representation of Integers

Authors: Nicolas Méloni, M. Anwar Hasan

Abstract:

Modular exponentiation is core to today’s main stream public key cryptographic systems. In this article, we generalize the classical fractional $w$NAF method for modular exponentiation – the classical method uses a digit set of the form \{1,3,\dots,m\} which is extended here to any set of odd integers of the form \{1,d_2,\dots, d_n\}. We give a formula for the average density of non-zero terms in this new representation and discuss its asymptotic behavior when those digits are randomly chosen from a given set. We also propose a specific method for the precomputation phase of the exponentiation algorithm.
