Efficient computation of addition chains

F. Bergeron, J. Berstel, S. Brlek (1994)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

The aim of this paper is to present a unifying approach to the computation of short addition chains. Our method is based upon continued fraction expansions. Most of the popular methods for the generation of addition chains, such as the binary method, the factor method, etc..., fit in our framework. However, we present new and better algorithms. We give a general upper bound for the complexity of continued fraction methods, as a function of a chosen strategy, thus the total number of operations required...

Elliptic curves with j-invariant equals 0 or 1728 over a finite prime field.

Carlos Munuera Gómez (1991)

Extracta Mathematicae

Let p be a prime number, p ≠ 2,3 and Fp the finite field with p elements. An elliptic curve E over Fp is a projective nonsingular curve of genus 1 defined over Fp. Each one of these curves has an isomorphic model given by an (Weierstrass) equation E: y2 = x3 + Ax + B, A,B ∈ Fp with D = 4A3 + 27B2 ≠ 0. The j-invariant of E is defined by j(E) = 1728·4A3/D.The aim of this note is to establish some results concerning the cardinality of the group of points on elliptic curves over Fp with j-invariants...

Equivalences between elliptic curves and real quadratic congruence function fields

Andreas Stein (1997)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

In 1994, the well-known Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol was for the first time implemented in a non-group based setting. Here, the underlying key space was the set of reduced principal ideals of a real quadratic number field. This set does not possess a group structure, but instead exhibits a so-called infrastructure. More recently, the scheme was extended to real quadratic congruence function fields, whose set of reduced principal ideals has a similar infrastructure. As always, the security...
