Abstract

A family of elliptic curves for cryptographic use is proposed for which the determination of the order of the corresponding algebraic group is much easier than in the general case. This makes it easier to meet the cryptographic requirement that this order have a large prime factor. Another advantage of this familiy is that the group operation simplifies slightly. Explicit numerical examples are given that are suitable for practical use.
