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...

Families of elliptic curves with genus 2 covers of degree 2.

Claus Diem (2006)

Collectanea Mathematica

We study genus 2 covers of relative elliptic curves over an arbitrary base in which 2 is invertible. Particular emphasis lies on the case that the covering degree is 2. We show that the data in the "basic construction" of genus 2 covers of relative elliptic curves determine the cover in a unique way (up to isomorphism).A classical theorem says that a genus 2 cover of an elliptic curve of degree 2 over a field of characteristic ≠ 2 is birational to a product of two elliptic curves over the projective...
