Don’t Forget Pairing-Friendly Curves with Odd Prime Embedding Degrees

ePrint Report: Don’t Forget Pairing-Friendly Curves with Odd Prime Embedding Degrees

Yu Dai, Fangguo Zhang, Chang-an Zhao

Pairing-friendly curves with odd prime embedding degrees
at the 128-bit security level, such as BW13-310 and BW19-286, sparked
interest in the field of public-key cryptography as small sizes of the prime
fields. However, compared to mainstream pairing-friendly curves at the
same security level, i.e., BN446 and BLS12-446, the performance of pairing computations on BW13-310 and BW19-286 is usually considered
ineffcient. In this paper …
