Title:
Counting Points on Genus 2 Curves with Real Multiplication

Authors: P. Gaudry, D. Kohel, B. Smith

Abstract:

We present an accelerated Schoof-type point-counting algorithm for curves of genus 2 equipped with an efficiently computable real multiplication endomorphism. Our new algorithm reduces the complexity of genus 2 point counting over a finite field GF(q) of large characteristic from \sO(\log^8 q) to \sO(\log^5 q). Using our algorithm we compute a 256-bit prime-order Jacobian, suitable for cryptographic applications, and also the order of a 1024-bit Jacobian.
