🏎. Buffer Exponentiations for Encryption

Open keithrfung opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Feature Request

Description Buffer exponentiations utilizing the optimized equations from #185 . There are 7 exponentiations per encryption. 5 of the 7 are independent of the nonce and data to be encrypted. These 5 can be computed in advance and buffered.

Expected Benefit ~3x on real time voting performance

Possible Architecture

  • Use a producer/consumer pattern
