Abstract

*Please note day and time*
The topic of this talk is elliptic curve cryptography.

I will discuss elliptic curve point compression in the context of pairing based cryptography. I will also present a method to speed up point multiplication in pairing friendly groups.

(This talk is part of the Algebra/Claude Shannon Institute series.)
