Abstract

The choice of an elliptic curve for the implementation of an elliptic curve cryptosystem requires counting the number of points on such a curve over a finite field. An improvement of Schoof's algorithm for counting the number of rational points on an elliptic curve defined over a finite field takes advantage of some factor of the division polynomials. In this paper, we study the possible factorisations of such division polynomials.
