The problem of computing xn effciently, such that x and n are known to be very interesting, specially when n is very large. In order to find effcient methods to solve this problem, addition chains have been much studied, and generalized to addition-subtraction chains. These various chains have been useful in finding effcient exponentiation algorithms. In this paper, we present a new method to recover all existing exponentiation algorithms. It will be applied to design a new fast exponentiation method.
