This paper describes and validates a new algorithm, called the Enhanced Euclid Algorithm, for modular multiplicative inverse (MMI). Analysis of the proposed algorithm shows that it is more efficient than the Extended Euclid algorithm (XEA). In addition, if a MMI does not exist, then it is not necessary to use the Backtracking procedure in the proposed algorithm;this case requires fewer operations on every step (divisions, multiplications, additions, assignments and push operations on stack), than the XEA. Overall, XEA uses more multiplications, additions, assignments and twice as many variables than the proposed algorithm.展开更多
