Abstract

The addition chains with minimal length are the basic block to the optimal computation of finite field exponentiations. It has very important applications in the areas of error-correcting codes and cryptography. However, obtaining the shortest addition chains for a given exponent is a NP-hard problem. In this work we propose the adaptation of a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to deal with this problem. Our proposal is tested on several exponents whose addition chains are considered hard to find. We obtained very promising results.
