The document proposes a more efficient method for scalar multiplication on elliptic curves defined over extension fields. The proposed method reduces the number of elliptic curve doublings (ECD) needed by around half compared to existing methods. It achieves this by using the Frobenius mapping to represent the scalar value with coefficients in the extension field's subfield, allowing half the bit size. An example shows the proposed method requires around half as many ECD operations. Evaluation on sample scalars confirms a 40-50% reduction in ECD operations and a similar improvement in execution times for scalar multiplication. Future work involves testing the approach in pairing-based cryptographic protocols.
