Title:
Finding Orientations of Supersingular Elliptic Curves and Quaternion Orders

Authors: Sarah Arpin, James Clements, Pierrick Dartois, Jonathan Komada Eriksen, Péter Kutas, Benjamin Wesolowski

Abstract:

Orientations of supersingular elliptic curves encode the information of an endomorphism of the curve. Computing the full endomorphism ring is a known hard problem, so one might consider how hard it is to find one such orientation. We prove that access to an oracle which tells if an elliptic curve is \mathfrak{O}-orientable for a fixed imaginary quadratic order \mathfrak{O} provides non-trivial information towards computing an endomorphism corresponding to the \mathfrak{O}-orientation. We provide explicit algorithms and in-depth complexity analysis.

We also consider the question in terms of quaternion algebras. We provide algorithms which compute an embedding of a fixed imaginary quadratic order into a maximal order of the quaternion algebra ramified at $p$ and $\infty$. We provide code implementations in Sagemath which is efficient for finding embeddings of imaginary quadratic orders of discriminants up to $O(p)$, even for cryptographically sized $p$.
