Accelerating EdDSA Signature Verification with Faster Scalar Size Halving by Muhammad ElSheikh, İrem Keskinkurt Paksoy, Murat Cenk, M. Anwar Hasan

“…For the first time ever, EEA generated half-size scalars are used for verification of individual Ed25519 signatures yielding timing results that outperform ed25519-donna, a highly optimized open source implementation, by 16.12%. We also propose a new randomization method applied with half-size scalars to batch verification of Ed25519 signatures for which we report speed-ups compared to the well-known Bernstein et al. method for batch sizes larger than six, specifically, our method achieves 11.60% improvement for batch size 64. …”
