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 />
