There's Something about m-ary - Fixed-Point Scalar Multiplication Protected against Physical Attacks

In this paper, we study the fixed-point scalar multiplication operation on elliptic curves in the context of embedded devices prone to physical attacks. We propose efficient algorithms based on Yao and BGMW algorithms that are suited for embedded computing, with various storage-efficiency trade-offs. In particular, we study their security towards side-channel and fault analysis and propose a se...
