Accelerating Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol with zero-biased exponent windowing

摘要

A method for improving performance in exponentiation algorithms for encryption programs such as the Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol. The program determines if a standard exponentiation algorithm or an algorithm optimized for reduced memory are optimal for a given circumstance. The optimized algorithms may use zero-biased exponents to minimize the number of precomputed vectors needed and the number of multiplication operations required.
