A cryptography method for generating probabilistic digital signatures and/or for a key-exchange a protocol and/or for an encryption algorithm is based on the use of a public key algorithm on abnormal binary elliptic curve, such as a Koblitz curve. A point P (x, y) is selected, and pairs (ki, Pi) are stored with Pi being the point corresponding to the scalar multiplication of the point P by ki. A random variable (k) is generated and a point C is calculated that corresponds to the scalar multiplication of P by k. The generation of the random variable (k) and the calculation of the point C are performed simultaneously.
