Size optimization for large elliptic curve cryptography scalar multiplication acceleration tables

摘要

A computer program product and method are provided for optimizing the size of an Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) scalar multiplication table. Steps include (a) receiving, from a user interface, a set of integer multipliers, (b) choosing a subset of a given set of target integers, the chosen subset defining an index set, such that elements of the index set generate all elements of the given set of target integers using a target generation function, and (c) modifying the index set by removing an element from the index set which is not necessary to generate an element of the given set of target integers using the target generation function. Additional steps are also included depending on the embodiment.
