Abstract

In this paper, we propose an elaborate geometry approach to explain the group law on twisted Edwards curves which are seen as the intersection of quadric surfaces in place. Using the geometric interpretation of the group law we obtain the Miller function for Tate pairing computation on twisted Edwards curves. Then we present the explicit formulae for pairing computation on twisted Edwards curves. Our formulae for the doubling step are a littler faster than that proposed by Arene et.al.. Finally, to improve the efficiency of pairing computation we present twists of degree 4 and 6 on twisted Edwards curves.
