A New Method for Speeding Up Arithmetic on Elliptic Curves over Binary Fields

Now, It is believed that the best costs of a point doubling and addition on elliptic curves over binary fields are S M 5 4 + (namely, four finite field multiplications and five field squarings) and , respectively. In this paper we reduce the costs to less than S M 5 8 + S M 3 3 + and , respectively, by using a new projective coordinates we call PL-coordinates and rewriting the point doubling formula. Combining some programming skills, the method can speed up a elliptic curve scalar multiplication by about 15~20 percent in practice. S M 1 8 +
