Package Information

DescriptionCryptographic Addition Chain Generation in Go (program)

Cryptographic Addition Chain Generation in Go addchain generates short addition chains for exponents of cryptographic interest with results rivaling the best hand-optimized chains. Intended as a building block in elliptic curve or other cryptographic code generators.

* Suite of algorithms from academic research: continued fractions, dictionary-based and Bos-Coster heuristics * Custom run-length techniques exploit structure of cryptographic exponents with excellent results on Solinas primes * Generic optimization methods eliminate redundant operations * Simple domain-specific language for addition chain computations * Command-line interface or library * Code generation and templated output support

This package contains the 'addchain' tool.
