Abstract

The Schoof-Elkies-Atkin algorithm is the best known method for counting the number of points of an elliptic curve defined over a finite field of large characteristic. We use Abelian properties of division polynomials to design a fast theoretical and practical algorithm for nding the eigenvalue.
