Abstract
Methods and apparati are provided for use in cryptographically processing information based on elliptic and other like curves. The methods and apparati allow pairings, such as, for example, Weil pairings, Tate Pairings, Squared Weil pairings, Squared Tate pairings, and/or other like pairings to be determined based on algorithms that utilize a parabola. The methods and apparati represent an improvement over conventional algorithms since they tend to me more computationally efficient.
