Title:
Deterministic Encoding and Hashing to Odd Hyperelliptic Curves
Authors: Pierre-Alain Fouque, Mehdi Tibouchi
Abstract:In this paper we propose a very simple and efficient encoding function from F_q to points of a hyperelliptic curve over F_q of the form H: y^2=f(x) where f is an odd polynomial. Hyperelliptic curves of this type have been frequently considered in the literature to obtain Jacobians of good order and pairing-friendly curves. Our new encoding is nearly a bijection to the set of F_q-rational points on H. This makes it easy to construct well-behaved hash functions to the Jacobian J of H, as well as injective maps to J(F_q) which can be used to encode scalars for such applications as ElGamal encryption. The new encoding is already interesting in the genus 1 case, where it provides a well-behaved encoding to Joux’s supersingular elliptic curves.
