Abstract. We further analyze the solutions to the Diophantine equations from which prime-order elliptic curves of embedding degrees k = 3, 4 or 6 (MNT curves) may be obtained. We g...
Previously known techniques to construct pairing-friendly curves of prime or near-prime order are restricted to embedding degree k 6. More general methods produce curves over Fp wh...
We present a general framework for constructing families of elliptic curves of prime order with prescribed embedding degree. We demonstrate this method by constructing curves with ...
In their seminal paper, Miyaji, Nakabayashi and Takano [12] describe a simple method for the creation of elliptic curves of prime order with embedding degree 3, 4, or 6. Such curve...
When using pairing-friendly ordinary elliptic curves over prime fields to implement identity-based protocols, there is often a need to hash identities to points on one or both of ...
