Elliptic curves<br />

• Consider the equation<br />

E +<br />

: y +<br />

a1xy<br />

+ a3y<br />

= x + a2x<br />

+ a4x<br />

a6<br />

over a finite field GF(q n ).<br />

• E defines an elliptic curve over the finite field GF(q n )<br />

(certain technical conditions have to be fulfilled).<br />

• The set E(GF(q n )) of points (x,y) satisfying<br />

the equation E form an abelian group.<br />

• The group law on E(GF(q n )) can be expressed in simple<br />

algebraic formulae.<br />
