arXiv:2610.27452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-Scalar Multiplication (MSM) is a fundamental cryptographic operation used in Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) across a wide range of applications. Its computation involves intensive elliptic curve point additions (PADD). MSM plays a critical role in cryptographic primitives such as polynomial commitments and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), where it often becomes the runtime bottleneck.
