Abstract

Recent efficient pairings such as Ate pairing use two efficient subgroups of rational point such that π(P) = P and π(Q) = [p]Q, where π, p, P, and Q are the Frobenius map for rational point, the characteristic of definition field, and torsion points for pairing, respectively. This relation accelerates not only pairing but also pairing–related operations such as scalar multiplications. It holds in the case that the embedding degree k divides r − 1, where r is the order of torsion rational points. Thus, such a case has been well studied. Alternatively, this paper focuses on the case that the degree divides r +1 but not r −1. First, this paper shows a transitive representation for r–torsion points based on the fact that the characteristic polynomial f(π) becomes irreducible over Fr for which π also plays a role of variable. In other words, this paper proposes an elliptic curve discrete logarithm on such a torsion group. After that, together with some example parameters, it is shown how to prepare such pairing–friendly elliptic curves.
