A basic but expensive operation in implementations of several famous public-key cryptosystems is the computation of the multi-exponentiation in a certain finite multiplication group. In 2007, Yang et al. presented an interesting asynchronous multi-exponentiation algorithm called the SUt method, which uses the binary representations for the exponents. In this note, we analyze the computational efficiency of the SUt method by modeling the scanning process as a Markov chain. It shows that their computational efficiency result is incorrect. Moreover, we make a performance comparison among the published techniques and show the performance of a modified sliding window method is better than that of the SUt method, when there are 4 or more additional registers. We hope that our research will be convenient to the development of the cryptographic devices.
