Abstract:
We study scheme (hardware) and program (software) methods of multiplication of polynomials over fields of characteristic 7 in order to apply them to parings based cryptographic protocols on hyperelliptic curves of genus three. We consider hardware and software implementations of arithmetic in $GF(7)$, $GF(7^2)$, $GF(7^n)$, $GF(7^{7n})$, and $GF(7^{14n})$ and estimate the complexity of corresponding schemes and programs.
