Is hyperelliptic cryptography "practical"?

Previosly my impression on this subject was that hyperelliptic cryptography systems (as well as other possible cryptosystems based on abelian varieties of dimension $>1$) have no advantages over ...

Zeta function of Abelian variety over finite field

Let $A/\mathbf{F}_q$ be an Abelian variety of dimension $g$. Suppose one knows $|A(\mathbf{F}_{q^n})|$ for all $1 \leq n \leq g$. Does one know then $\zeta(A,s)$ (equivalently, $|A(\mathbf{F}_{q^n})|$ ...

Motives over finite field not generated by hyperelliptic curves

So the question is that, over a finite field, does there exist an abelian variety $A$ for which there does not exist a generically one-to-one morphism from a hyperelliptic curve $C$ to $A$. p.s. A ...

For which (g,q) does there exist a supersingular curve?

We say a curve over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ is supersingular if it's Frobenius eigenvalues (on $H^1(X,\mathbb Z_\ell)$) are of the form $q^{1/2}\alpha$ for $\alpha$ a root of unity. As far as I ...

formal group laws of Abelian varieties in positive characteristic

Let $G$ be an algebraic group defined over an (algebraically closed) field $k$. Then one can obtain a formal group law by completing the multiplication map $m: G \times G \to G$ at the unit of $G$. ...

A functor on Abelian varieties corresponding to this operation on Weil numbers

Let $A/\mathbb F_q$ be an abelian variety over a finite field with Weil numbers $q^{1/2}\alpha_1,\dots,q^{1/2}\alpha_n$. Consider the numbers $q^{d/2}\alpha_1,\dots,q^{d/2}\alpha_n$. These are still ...
