Journ. Mech. and Applied Math., vol. IV, * pt. 2 (1951), pp. 236-240), in that case for multiplication of integers. * Booth's original encoding did not generally improve the density of nonzero * digits over the binary representation, and was merely meant to simplify the * handling of signed factors given in two's complement; but it has since been * shown to be the basis of various signed-digit representations that do have * further advantages, including the wNAF, using the following general * approach: * * (1) Given a binary representation * * b_k ... b_2 b_1 b_0, * * of a nonnegative integer (b_k in {0, 1}), rewrite it in digits 0, 1, -1 * by using bit-wise subtraction as follows: * * b_k b_(k-1) ... b_2 b_1 b_0 * - b_k ... b_3 b_2 b_1 b_0 * ------------------------------------- * s_k b_(k-1) ... s_3 s_2 s_1 s_0 * * A left-shift followed by subtraction of the original value yields a new * representation of the same value, using signed bits s_i = b_(i+1) - b_i. * This representation from Booth's paper has since appeared in the * literature under a variety of different names including "reversed binary * form", "alternating greedy expansion", "mutual opposite form", and * "sign-alternating {+-1}-representation". * * An interesting property is that among the nonzero bits, values 1 and -1 * strictly alternate. * * (2) Various window schemes can be applied to the Booth representation of * integers: for example, right-to-left sliding windows yield the wNAF * (a signed-digit encoding independently discovered by various researchers * in the 1990s), and left-to-right sliding windows yield a left-to-right * equivalent of the wNAF (independently discovered by various researchers * around 2004). * * To prevent leaking information through side channels in point multiplication, * we need to recode the given integer into a regular pattern: sliding windows * as in wNAFs won't do, we need their fixed-window equivalent -- which is a few * decades older: we'll be using the so-called "modified Booth encoding" due to * MacSorley ("High-speed arithmetic in binary computers", Proc. IRE, vol. 49 * (1961), pp. 67-91), in a radix-2^5 setting. That is, we always combine five * signed bits into a signed digit: * * s_(4j + 4) s_(4j + 3) s_(4j + 2) s_(4j + 1) s_(4j) * * The sign-alternating property implies that the resulting digit values are * integers from -16 to 16. * * Of course, we don't actually need to compute the signed digits s_i as an * intermediate step (that's just a nice way to see how this scheme relates * to the wNAF): a direct computation obtains the recoded digit from the * six bits b_(4j + 4) ... b_(4j - 1). * * This function takes those five bits as an integer (0 .. 63), writing the * recoded digit to *sign (0 for positive, 1 for negative) and *digit (absolute * value, in the range 0 .. 8). Note that this integer essentially provides the * input bits "shifted to the left" by one position: for example, the input to * compute the least significant recoded digit, given that there's no bit b_-1, * has to be b_4 b_3 b_2 b_1 b_0 0. */ void ec_GFp_nistp_recode_scalar_bits(uint8_t *sign, uint8_t *digit, uint8_t in) { uint8_t s, d; s = ~((in >> 5) - 1); /* sets all bits to MSB(in), 'in' seen as * 6-bit value */ d = (1 << 6) - in - 1; d = (d & s) | (in & ~s); d = (d >> 1) + (d & 1); *sign = s & 1; *digit = d; } #endif /* 64_BIT && !WINDOWS */
