We propose an improved implementation of modified Weil pairings. By reduction of operations in the extension field to those in the base field, we can save some operations in the...
A Zero-knowledge protocol provides provably secure entity authentication based on a hard computational problem. Among many schemes proposed since 1984, the most practical rely on f...
