Tate-pairing implementations for tripartite key agreement

Iwan Duursma and Hyang-Sook Lee

Abstract: We give a closed formula for the Tate-pairing on the hyperelliptic curve $y^2 = x^p - x + d$ in characteristic $p$. This improves recent implementations by Barreto et.al. and by Galbraith et.al. for the special case $p=3$. As an application, we propose a $n$-round key agreement protocol for up to $3^n$ participants by extending Joux's pairing-based protocol to $n$ rounds.
