An important aspect in the study of elliptic curves is devising effective ways of counting points on the curve.There have been several approaches to do so, and the algorithms devised have proved to be useful tools in the study of various fields such as number theory, and more recently in cryptography and Digital Signature Authentication (See elliptic curve cryptography and elliptic curve DSA).
Schoof's algorithm is an efficient algorithm to count points on elliptic curves over finite fields.The algorithm has applications in elliptic curve cryptography where it is important to know the number of points to judge the difficulty of solving the discrete logarithm problem in the group of points on an elliptic curve.
If the instantiated polynomial (, ()) has a root (′) in then is an Elkies prime, and we may compute a polynomial () whose roots correspond to points in the kernel of the -isogeny from to ′. The polynomial f l {\displaystyle f_{l}} is a divisor of the corresponding division polynomial used in Schoof's algorithm, and it has significantly ...
In mathematics the division polynomials provide a way to calculate multiples of points on elliptic curves and to study the fields generated by torsion points. They play a central role in the study of counting points on elliptic curves in Schoof's algorithm .
Set of affine points of elliptic curve y 2 = x 3 − x over finite field F 61. Let K = F q be the finite field with q elements and E an elliptic curve defined over K. While the precise number of rational points of an elliptic curve E over K is in general difficult to compute, Hasse's theorem on elliptic curves gives the following inequality:

The points on an elliptic curve form an abelian group: one can add points and take integer multiples of a single point. When an elliptic curve is described by a non-singular cubic equation, then the sum of two points P and Q, denoted P + Q, is directly related to third point of intersection between the curve and the line that passes through P ...
The elliptic curve primality tests are based on criteria analogous to the Pocklington criterion, on which that test is based, [6] [7] where the group (/) is replaced by (/), and E is a properly chosen elliptic curve. We will now state a proposition on which to base our test, which is analogous to the Pocklington criterion, and gives rise to the ...
