Abstract

We show how to invert the multiplication-by-2 map in Jacobians of genus 2 curves $\mathrm{C}$ over finite fields $\mathbf{F}_{q}$ of odd characteristic. For any divisor $D\in \mathrm{Jac}(\mathrm{C})(\mathbf{F}_{q})$ we provide a method to construct the coordinates of all divisors $D'\in \mathrm{Jac}(\mathrm{C})(\mathbf{F}_{q})$ such that $2D'=D$.
