Title:
Elliptic Curves of Nearly Prime Order
Authors: Manoj Gyawali, Daniele Di Tullio
Abstract:Constructing an elliptic curve of prime order has a significant role in elliptic curve cryptography. For security purposes, we need an elliptic curve of almost prime order. In this paper, we propose an efficient technique to generate an elliptic curve of nearly prime order. In practice, this algorithm produces an elliptic curve of order 2 times a prime number. Therefore, these elliptic curves are appropriate for practical uses. Presently, the most known working algorithms for generating elliptic curves of prime order are based on complex multiplication. The advantages of the proposed technique are: it does not require a deep mathe- matical theory, it is easy to implement in any programming language and produces an elliptic curve with a remarkably simple expression.
