  Abstract

Cryptographic protocols based on bilinear pairings provide excellent alternatives to conventional elliptic curve cryptosystems based on discrete logarithm problems. Through active research has been done toward fast computation of the bilinear pairings, it is still believed that the computational cost of one pairing computation is heavier than the cost of one ECC scalar multiplication. However, there have been many progresses in pairing computations over binary fields. In this paper, we compare the cost of BLS signature scheme with ECDSA with equvalent level of security parameters. Analysis shows that the cost of the pairing computation is quite comparable to the cost of ECC scalar multiplication for the case of binary fields.
