Abstract

We give a characterization for the intractability of hyperelliptic discrete logarithm problem from a viewpoint of computational complexity theory. It is shown that the language of which complexity is equivalent to that of the hyperelliptic discrete logarithm problem is in NP ∩ co-AM, and that especially for elliptic curves, the corresponding language is in NP ∩ co-NP. It should be noted here that the language of which complexity is equivalent to that of the discrete logarithm problem defined over the multiplicative group of a finite field is also characterized as in NP ∩ co-NP.
