k256: fast invert_vartime using Stein's algorithm#743
Merged
Conversation
Adapts the implementation originally contributed to the `p256` crate by @nickray to the `k256` crate. Implementation is checked against the constant-time `Scalar::invert` using proptests (where `Scalar::invert` is in turn proptested against `num-bigint`). It results in a ~9% ECDSA verification performance improvement according to our criterion benchmarks: ecdsa/verify_prehashed time: [67.681 µs 67.734 µs 67.796 µs] change: [-9.4013% -9.2055% -9.0011%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05) Performance has improved.
