Speeding Up Multi-Scalar Multiplications for Pairing-Based zkSNARKs
We revisit the precomputation-based multi-scalar multiplication (MSM) method introduced by Luo, Fu, and Gong at CHES 2023 and extend their approach. Specifically, we propose a generalized construction of optimal buckets. This enhancement results in notable performance gains, as confirmed through theoretical analysis and experimental validation.
Multi-scalar multiplication, crucial for zero-knowledge proofs, is often slow. Researchers have sped it up using precomputation methods. A recent study improved these methods, making them faster through better organization of precomputed values.
