Abstract

We give an explicit description of the matrix representation ofthe Frobenius endomorphism on the Jacobian of a genus two curve onthe subgroup of l-torsion points. By using thisdescription, we can describe the matrix representation of theWeil-pairing on the subgroup of l-torsion pointsexplicitly. Finally, the explicit description of the Weil-pairingprovides us with an efficient, probabilistic algorithm to findgenerators of the subgroup of l-torsion points on theJacobian of a genus two curve.
