Counting Points On Elliptic Curves - Naive Approach

Naive Approach

The naive approach to counting points, which is the least sophisticated, involves running through all the elements of the field and testing which ones satisfy the Weierstrass form of the elliptic curve

y^2 = x^3 + Ax + B. \,

Famous quotes containing the words naive and/or approach:

    ““The days have outnumbered
    my fingers and toes.
    What can I count with now?”
    Saying this,
    the naive girl cries.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “Oh! mystery of man, from what a depth
    Proceed thy honours. I am lost, but see
    In simple childhood something of the base
    On which thy greatness stands; but this I feel,
    That from thyself it comes, that thou must give,
    Else never canst receive. The days gone by
    Return upon me almost from the dawn
    Of life: the hiding-places of man’s power
    Open; I would approach them, but they close.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
