Algorithms for solving special cases of ECDLP – Elliptic Curves

8.4.2 Algorithms for solving special cases of ECDLP Because of their mathematical properties, some elliptic curves allow you to take shortcuts when solving ECDLP. In 1991, mathematicians Alfred Menezes, Scott Vanstone, and Tatsuaki Okamoto published an algorithm that reduces ECDLP to a DLP in the multiplicative group of a finite field. They showed that for…
