Let K be a p-adic local field and E an elliptic curve defined over K. The component group of E is the group E(K)/E0(K), where E0(K) denotes the subgroup of points of good reduction...
Motivated by the needs of the pairing based cryptography, Miyaji, Nakabayashi and Takano have suggested a construction of so-called MNT elliptic curves with low embedding degree. ...
Abstract. The complex multiplication (CM) method for genus 2 is currently the most efficient way of generating genus 2 hyperelliptic curves defined over large prime fields and suit...

It has become increasingly common to implement discrete-logarithm based public-key protocols on elliptic curves over finite fields. The basic operation is scalar multiplication: ta...
We describe an adaptation of the number field sieve to the problem of computing logarithms in a finite field. We conjecture that the running time of the algorithm, when restricted ...
