Exponent splitting for cryptographic operations
A first share value and a second share value may be received. A combination of the first share value and the second share value may correspond to an exponent value. The value of a first register is updated using a first equation that is based on the first and second share values and the value of a second register is updated using a second equation that is based on the second share value. One of the value of the first register or the value of the second register is selected based on a bit value of the second share value.
