Will Coppersmith's method work for this bivariate modular polynomial shape?

I have a bivariate modular polynomial of shape $$f(x,y)=x^2y-g(x)\equiv 0\bmod q$$ where $q=(2p-1)(2p+1)$ is a product of two primes $2p-1$ and $2p+1$, $g(x)\in\mathbb Z[x]$ is of degree four and $f(...

Road map for learning about the computational/general theory of modular curves/isogenies of abelian varieties for cryptography

I am a graduate math/crypto student. So I've had some free time last year and I heard about elliptic curves in cryptography and how a resilient cryptosystem got demolished by a spectacular attack ...

Hardness of solving $0=\sum_{i=1}^k \operatorname{linear}_i(x_1,\ldots,x_n)^D$ over the rationals

This is related to cryptography and this question and another question. In short, we are asking about decomposing multivariate polynomial as sum of perfect powers of linear polynomials. Working over $\...

Merel's theorem on uniform bound for torsion of all elliptic curves

I am reading Silverman's book on Arithmetic of elliptic curves. There he mentions a theorem of Merel (Thm 7.5.1) which reads like this. Thm: For every integer $d \geq 1$, there is a constant $N(d)$ ...

Prime divisors on the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$ under the $n$ map

Let $H$ be a hyperelliptic curve geometrically irreducible of genus 2 over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with a rational point $\infty$ given by the model $y^2=f(x)$, where $f$ is monic of degree 5. Consider the ...

Modular polynomials for elliptic curves point counting

The Schoof-Elkies-Atkin (SEA) algorithm (for counting points on elliptic curves over a finite field) performs computations over polynomials modulo some modular polynomials. Originally the "classical" ...

Canonical lifts from $\mathbb F_q$ and CM-theory

One knows that (ordinary) Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ (mostly of genus 1 (elliptic curves) and 2) are extensively studied by cryptographers, as a platform for ...

Mestre-type algorithm for higher-genus curves?

Is there an analogous algorithm for genus $g>2$ curves that, given a complete set of invariants, outputs a curve with those invariants? (I'm interested in particular in $g=3$.) Any references ...

A silly question: is the number of points on a Jacobian (of a curve, over a finite field) known?

In a cryptography book I read that people does not known how to compute the number of points on a Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve $C$ over a finite field $F_q$? Is this true? It seems easy to ...
