Abstract

Algebraic curves over finite fields are being extensively used in the design of public-key cryptographic schemes. This paper surveys some topics in algebraic curve cryptography, with an emphasis on recent developments in algorithms for the elliptic and hyperelliptic curve discrete logarithm problems, and computational problems in pairing-based cryptography.
