Weil Restriction of an Elliptic Curve over a Quadratic Extension
نویسنده
چکیده
Let K be a finite field of characteristic not equal to 2, and L a quadratic extension of K. For a large class of elliptic curves E defined over L we construct hyperelliptic curves over K of genus 2 whose jacobian is isogenous to the Weil restriction ResK(E).

Complete characterization of the Mordell-Weil group of some families of elliptic curves
The Mordell-Weil theorem states that the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over the rational numbers is a finitely generated abelian group. In our previous paper, H. Daghigh, and S. Didari, On the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px$, Bull. Iranian Math. Soc. 40 (2014), no. 5, 1119--1133., using Selmer groups, we have shown that for a prime $p...
متن کاملA Weil Descent Attack against Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems over Quartic Extension Fields
This paper shows that many of elliptic curve cryptosystems over quartic extension fields of odd characteristics are reduced to genus two hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems over quadratic extension fields. Moreover, it shows that almost all of the genus two hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems over quadratic extension fields of odd characteristics come under Weil descent attack. This means that many...
متن کاملOn the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px $
By the Mordell-Weil theorem, the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a number field is a finitely generated abelian group. There is no known algorithm for finding the rank of this group. This paper computes the rank of the family $ E_p:y^2=x^3-3px $ of elliptic curves, where p is a prime.
متن کاملDescending Rational Points on Elliptic Curves to Smaller Fields
In this paper, we study the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic curve as a Galois module. We consider an elliptic curve E defined over a number field K whose Mordell-Weil rank over a Galois extension F is 1, 2 or 3. We show that E acquires a point (points) of infinite order over a field whose Galois group is one of Cn×Cm (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, m = 1, 2), Dn×Cm (n = 2, 3, 4, 6, m = 1, 2), A4×Cm (m = ...
متن کاملIndex calculus for abelian varieties of small dimension and the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem
We propose an index calculus algorithm for the discrete logarithm problem on general abelian varieties of small dimension. The main difference with the previous approaches is that we do not make use of any embedding into the Jacobian of a well-suited curve. We apply this algorithm to the Weil restriction of elliptic curves and hyperelliptic curves over small degree extension fields. In particul...
