Abstract
This paper aims to give a new fast and secure scalar multiplication technique for elliptic curves. The technique also provides protection against side channel attacks, particularly simple power analysis. The method proposed for scalar multiplication is based on Lucas addition-subtraction chains [28].
Keywords: addition chain, addition-subtraction chain, Lucas chains, Lucas addition-subtraction chains, elliptic curve cryptography, scalar multiplication, side-channel attacks.
