Abstract

In 2023, Koshelev proposed an efficient method for subgroup membership testing on a list of non-pairing-friendly curves via the Tate pairing. In fact, this method can also be applied to certain pairing-friendly curves, such as the BLS and BW13 families, at a cost of two small Tate pairings. In this paper, we revisit Koshelev's method and propose simplified formulas for computing the two small Tate pairings. Compared to the original formulas, the new versions reduce both the number of Miller 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 by up to and on the BW13-310 and BLS48-575 curves, respectively. When precomputation is utilized, our method achieves speed improvements of up to and on the BW13-310 and BLS48-575 curves, respectively.
