Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a multiplier circuit to: identify a point multiply operation to be performed by the multiplier circuit, wherein the point multiply operation comprises point multiplication of a first plurality of operands; identify a point add operation associated with the point multiply operation, wherein the point add operation comprises point addition of a second plurality of operands, wherein the second plurality of operands comprises a first point and a second point, and wherein the first point and the second point are associated with a first coordinate system; convert the second point from the first coordinate system to a second coordinate system; perform the point add operation based on the first point associated with the first coordinate system and the second point associated with the second coordinate system; and perform the point multiply operation based on a result of the point add operation.
