Abstract

A device multiplies a first public key by a first scalar value, generating an intermediate result. The first public key corresponds to a point on an elliptic curve of order n, n is an integer, and the first scalar value is equal to n/m where in is a largest prime integer factor of n. The device determines whether the intermediate result is equal to a value corresponding to a point O at infinity on the elliptic curve. In response to the determining indicating the intermediate result is different from the value corresponding to the point O, the device multiplies the intermediate result by a second scalar, generating a shared secret value. The device performs one or more processing operations using the generated shared secret value. Otherwise, the device may initiate error processing without generating the shared secret value.
