Abstract :
SS(l) has been demonstrated experimentally to be the fastest square-and-multiply exponentiation scheme based on precomputation and string substitution. The authors provide a complete proof of the efficiency of the SS(l) algorithm. They show that SS(l) is a minimum weight representation scheme and prove that the expected weight of an n-bit SS(l)-represented exponent is n/(l+1) for large n
