Isomorphic Mapping for Ate-Based Pairing over KSS Curve of Embedding Degree 18

Abstract

Pairing based cryptography is considered as the next generation of security for which it attracts many researcher to work on faster and efficient pairing to make it practical. Among the several challenges of efficient pairing; efficient scalar multiplication of rational point defined over extension field of degree k ≥ 12 is important. However, there exists isomorphic rational point group defined over relatively lower degree extension field. Exploiting such property, this paper has showed a mapping technique between isomorphic rational point groups in the context of Ate-based pairing with Kachisa-Schaefer-Scott (KSS) pairing friendly curve of embedding degree k = 18. In the case of KSS curve, there exists sub-field sextic twisted curve that includes sextic twisted isomorphic rational point group defined over Fp3. This paper has showed the mapping procedure from certain Fp18 rational point group to its sub-field isomorphic rational point group in Fp3 and vice versa. This paper has also showed that scalar multiplication is about 20 times faster after applying the proposed mapping which in-turns resembles that the impact of this mapping will greatly enhance the pairing operation in KSS curve.
