Title:
Factoring Polynomials for Constructing Pairing-friendly Elliptic Curves

Authors: Zhitu su, Hui Li, Jianfeng Ma

Abstract:

In this paper we present a new method to construct a polynomial u(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x] which will make \mathrm{\Phi}_{k}(u(x)) reducible. We construct a finite separable extension of \mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{k}), denoted as \mathbb{E}. By primitive element theorem, there exists a primitive element \theta \in \mathbb{E} such that \mathbb{E}=\mathbb{Q}(\theta). We represent the primitive k-th root of unity \zeta_{k} by \theta and get a polynomial u(x) \in \mathbb{Q}[x] from the representation. The resulting u(x) will make \mathrm{\Phi}_{k}(u(x)) factorable.
