Thank you very much sir for your reply but i want scalar multiplication by taking binary expansion of scalar.

for example if k=4 then(0100) the considering 1 and 0 the point add and double.(sage code)

If i understand your question correctly, you want to decompose K in binary and:

  • if K=2*k is even, compute K*P from k*P+k*P
  • if K=2*k+1 is odd, compute K*P from k*P+k*P+P

In both cases, k corresponds to shifting the binry representation of K to the right (and forget the first bit).

So, you can do recursively:

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(144169),j=1728)
sage: def mult(P,k):
....:     if k == 0:
....:         return E(0)
....:     elif k%2 ==1:
....:        return P + mult(P+P,k//2)
....:     else:
....:        return mult(P+P,k//2)

And check:

sage: P = E.random_element() ; P
(46104 : 85327 : 1)
sage: mult(P,13)
(128944 : 11188 : 1)
sage: 13*P
(128944 : 11188 : 1)
