  • The Complete Cost of Cofactor H = 1
    The complete cost of cofactor h = 1 Peter Schwabe and Daan Sprenkels Radboud University, Digital Security Group, P.O. Box 9010, 6500 GL Nijmegen, The Netherlands [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents optimized software for constant-time variable-base scalar multiplication on prime-order Weierstraß curves us- ing the complete addition and doubling formulas presented by Renes, Costello, and Batina in 2016. Our software targets three different mi- croarchitectures: Intel Sandy Bridge, Intel Haswell, and ARM Cortex- M4. We use a 255-bit elliptic curve over F2255−19 that was proposed by Barreto in 2017. The reason for choosing this curve in our software is that it allows most meaningful comparison of our results with optimized software for Curve25519. The goal of this comparison is to get an under- standing of the cost of using cofactor-one curves with complete formulas when compared to widely used Montgomery (or twisted Edwards) curves that inherently have a non-trivial cofactor. Keywords: Elliptic Curve Cryptography · SIMD · Curve25519 · scalar multiplication · prime-field arithmetic · cofactor security 1 Introduction Since its invention in 1985, independently by Koblitz [34] and Miller [38], elliptic- curve cryptography (ECC) has widely been accepted as the state of the art in asymmetric cryptography. This success story is mainly due to the fact that attacks have not substantially improved: with a choice of elliptic curve that was in the 80s already considered conservative, the best attack for solving the elliptic- curve discrete-logarithm problem is still the generic Pollard-rho algorithm (with minor speedups, for example by exploiting the efficiently computable negation map in elliptic-curve groups [14]).

  • Montgomery Curves and the Montgomery Ladder
    Montgomery curves and the Montgomery ladder Daniel J. Bernstein and Tanja Lange Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Abstract. The Montgomery ladder is a remarkably simple method of computing scalar multiples of points on a broad class of elliptic curves. This article surveys a wide range of topics related to the Montgomery ladder, both from the historical perspective of Weierstrass curves and from the modern perspective of Edwards curves. New material includes a full proof of a complete constant-time ladder algorithm suitable for cryptographic applications. This article is planned to appear as Chapter 4 of the book Topics in Com- putational Number Theory inspired by Peter L. Montgomery, edited by Joppe W. Bos and Arjen K. Lenstra. Two cross-references are to de- scriptions of ECM in FFT extension for algebraic-group factorization algorithms, by Richard P. Brent, Alexander Kruppa, and Paul Zimmer- mann, which is planned to appear as Chapter 9 of the same book.

  • 18.783 S17 Elliptic Curves Lecture 11: Index Calculus, Smooth Numbers, Factoring Integers
    18.783 Elliptic Curves Spring 2017 Lecture #11 03/15/2017 11 Index calculus, smooth numbers, and factoring integers Having explored generic algorithms for the discrete logarithm problem in some detail, we now consider a non-generic algorithm that uses index calculus. 1 This algorithm depends critically on the distribution of smooth numbers (integers with small prime factors), which naturally leads to a discussion of two algorithms for factoring integers that also depend on smooth numbers: the Pollard p − 1 method and the elliptic curve method (ECM). 11.1 Index calculus Index calculus is a method for computing discrete logarithms in the multiplicative group of a finite field. This might not seem directly relevant to the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, but aswe shall see whenwe discuss pairing-based cryptography, thesetwo problems are not unrelated. Moreover, the same approach can be applied to elliptic curves over non- prime finite fields, as well as abelian varieties of higher dimension [7, 8, 9].2 We will restrict our attention to the simplest case, a finite field of prime order p. Let us identify Fp ' Z=pZ with our usual choice of representatives for Z=pZ, integers in the interval [0;N], with N = p − 1. This innocent looking statement is precisely what will allow us to “cheat”, that is, to do something that a generic algorithm cannot. It lets us lift elements of Fp ' Z=pZ to the ring Z where we may consider their prime factorizations, something that makes no sense in a multiplicative group (every element is a unit) and is not available to a generic algorithm.

This paper introduces “twisted Edwards curves,” a general- ization of the recently introduced Edwards curves; shows that twisted Edwards curves include more curves over finite fields, and in particular every elliptic curve in Montgomery form; shows how to cover even more curves via isogenies; presents fast explicit formulas for twisted Edwards curves in projective and inverted coordinates; and shows that twisted Edwards curves save time for many curves that were already expressible as Edwards curves. Keywords: Elliptic curves, Edwards curves, twisted Edwards curves, Montgomery curves, isogenies. 1 Introduction Edwards in [13], generalizing an example from Euler and Gauss, introduced an addition law for the curves x2 + y2 = c2(1 + x2y2) over a non-binary field k. Edwards showed that every elliptic curve over k can be expressed in the form x2 + y2 = c2(1 + x2y2) if k is algebraically closed. However, over a finite field, only a small fraction of elliptic curves can be expressed in this form. Bernstein and Lange in [4] presented fast explicit formulas for addition and doubling in coordinates (X : Y : Z) representing (x, y) = (X/Z, Y/Z) on an Edwards curve, and showed that these explicit formulas save time in elliptic- curve cryptography.

China [email protected] Abstract Edwards curves are an alternate model for elliptic curves, which have attracted notice in cryptography. We give exact formulas for the number of Fq-isomorphism classes of Edwards curves and twisted Ed­ wards curves. This answers a question recently asked by R. Farashahi and I. Shparlinski. 1 1 Introduction Elliptic curves have been an object of much study in mathematics. Recall that an elliptic curve is a smooth projective genus 1 curve, with a given rational point. The traditional model for an elliptic curve has been the Weierstrass equation 2 3 2 Y + a1XY + a3Y = X + a2X + a4X + a6; where the ai are elements in some field F. While other models for elliptic curves have long been known, in the past few years there has been renewed interest in these alternate models. This attention has primarily come from the cryptographic community. In 2007, Edwards proposed a new model for elliptic curves [10]. Let F be a field with characteristic p 6= 2. These original Edwards curves, defined over F, are given by the equation 2 2 2 2 2 EE;c : X + Y = c (1 + X Y ); (1) with c 2 F and c5 6= c.

  • Elliptic Curve Factorization Method (ECM), Introduced by Hendrik Lenstra [4], a Heuristically Subexponential Running
    18.783 Elliptic Curves Spring 2013 Lecture #12 03/19/2013 We now consider our first practical application of elliptic curves: factoring integers. Before presenting the elliptic curve method (ECM) for factoring integers, we first present an older algorithm of Pollard that motivates the ECM approach. 12.1 Pollard p − 1 method In 1974, Pollard introduced a randomized (Monte Carlo) algorithm for factoring integers [6]. It makes use of a smoothness parameter B. Algorithm 12.1 (Pollard p − 1 factorization). Input: An integer N to be factored and a smoothness bound B. Output: A proper divisor of N or failure. 1. Pick a random integer a 2 [1;N − 1]. 2. If d = gcd(a; N) is not 1 then return d. 3. Set b = a and for each prime ` ≤ B: a. Set b = b`e mod N, where `e−1 < N ≤ `e. b. If d = gcd(b − 1;N) is not 1 then return d if d < N or failure if d = N. 4. Return failure Rather than using a fixed bound B, we could simply let the algorithm keep running through primes ` until it either succeeds or fails in step 3b. But in practice one typically uses a very small smoothness bound B and switches to a different algorithm if the p − 1 method fail. In any case, it is convenient to have B fixed for the purposes of analysis. Theorem 12.2. Let p and q be prime divisors of N, and let `p and `q be the largest prime divisors of p − 1 and q − 1, respectively.

  • CRYPTREC Review of Eddsa CRYPTREC EX-3003-2020
    CRYPTREC EX-3003-2020 CRYPTREC Review of EdDSA Steven D. Galbraith Mathematics Department, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. [email protected] 1 Executive summary The EdDSA signature scheme is a digital signature based on the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP). It was proposed by Bernstein, Duif, Lange, Schwabe and Yang in 2012 [18]. It builds on a long line of discrete logarithm based signature schemes, including Elgamal, Schnorr, DSA, and ECDSA. The security of signature schemes of this type is well-understood, and elliptic curve cryptography is a mature field. My conclusions and opinions: 1. EdDSA is a good design for a signature scheme (except perhaps for the key clamping, see Section 6.1, which seems to cause more difficulties than it provides benefits). 2. EdDSA is more closely related to Schnorr signatures than ECDSA, and so enjoys many of the rigorous security guarantees that are known for Schnorr signatures, including recent work on tight security proofs. 3. Deterministic signatures solve some of the security problems of discrete log signatures, but constant time imple- mentation is still critical in many settings. 4. EdDSA is superior to ECDSA when doing batch verification of a large number of signatures. 5. Curve 25519 provides a high level of security for the next 10-20 years, and 448-bit keys (such as in Ed448) are over-conservative and not recommended. 6. It is unlikely that quantum computers capable of solving 256-bit ECDLP instances can be built within the next 10 years. 7. I am confident that EdDSA using Curve25519 is a good signature scheme for use up to 2030.

Abstract: This paper deals with parallel implementation of scalar multiplication over an elliptic curve. We present parallel approaches which split the scalar into two parts for E(Fp) or three parts for E(F2m ) and perform in parallel the scalar multiplication with each part of the scalar. We present timing results of these approaches implemented over an Intel Core i7 for NIST binary curves B233, B409 and for the twisted Edwards curve Curve25519 (Bernstein, 2006).
