In this paper, we give an alternative formula of total norms for τ-Adic Non-adjacent Forms (τ-NAF) expansion for an integer n element of ℤ(τ) in Koblitz curve. We apply the geometric series formula to simplify some series involving floor functions in total norms formula. With this approach, we can evaluate the total norm by using the length of τ-NAF expansion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
