Abstract

In 2023, Koshelev introduced an efficient method of subgroup membership testing for a list of non-pairing-friendly curves, using at most two small Tate pairings. In fact, this technique can also be applied to certain pairing-friendly curves, e.g., from the BLS and BW13 families. In this paper, we revisit Koshelev's method and propose simplified formulas for computing the two Tate pairings. Compared to the original formulas, ours reduce both the number of Miller's iterations and the storage requirements. Furthermore, we provide a high-speed software implementation on a 64-bit processor. Our experimental results show that the new method outperforms the state-of-the-art one by up to and on the BW13-310 and BLS48-575 curves, respectively. When special precomputation is utilized, our method achieves greater speed improvements of up to and on the two curves, respectively
