Title:
Distortion maps for genus two curves

Authors: Steven D. Galbraith, Jordi Pujolàs, Christophe Ritzenthaler, Benjamin Smith

Abstract:

Distortion maps are a useful tool for pairing based cryptography. Compared with elliptic curves, the case of hyperelliptic curves of genus g > 1 is more complicated since the full torsion subgroup has rank 2g. In this paper we prove that distortion maps always exist for supersingular curves of genus g>1 and we give several examples in genus 2.
