The hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems take most of the time for computing a scalar multiplication kD of an element D in the Jacobian JC of a hyperelliptic curve C for an integer k....
In 1986, following the work of Schoof on counting points on elliptic curves over finite fields, new algorithms for primality proving emerged, due to Goldwasser and Kilian on the on...
A cryptographic pairing evaluates as an element of a finite extension field, and the evaluation itself involves a considerable amount of extension field arithmetic. It is recogn...
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a promising alternative for public-key algorithms in resource-constrained systems because it provides a similar level of security with much sh...
We present an index-calculus algorithm for the computation of discrete logarithms in the Jacobian of hyperelliptic curves defined over finite fields. The complexity predicts that i...
