Abstract

In this paper, we give a family of elliptic curves E in the form y^2=x^3-c over the prime field F"p with embedding degree k=1. This was carried out by computing the explicit formula of the number of points #E(F"p) of the elliptic curve y^2=x^3-c. Using this computation, we show that the elliptic curve y^2=x^3-1 over F"p for the primes p of the form 27A^2+1 has an embedding degree k=1. Finally, we give examples of those primes p for which the security level of the pairing-based cryptographic protocols on the curve y^2=x^3-1 over F"p is equivalent to 128-, 192-, or 256-bit AES keys.
