Title:
Efficient Hyperelliptic Arithmetic using Balanced Representation for Divisors

Authors: Steven D. Galbraith, Michael Harrison, David J. Mireles Morales

Abstract:

We discuss arithmetic in the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve C of genus g. The traditional approach is to fix a point P_\infty \in C and represent divisor classes in the form E - d(P_\infty) where E is effective and 0 \le d \le g. We propose a different representation which is balanced at infinity. The resulting arithmetic is more efficient than previous approaches when there are 2 points at infinity. This is a corrected and extended version of the article presented in ANTS 2008. We include an appendix with explicit formulae to compute a very efficient `baby step’ in genus 2 hyperelliptic curves given by an imaginary model.
