Abstract
For a given elliptic curve over a finite local ring, we denote by its subgroup at infinity. Every point can be described solely in terms of its -coordinate , which can be therefore used to parameterize all its multiples . We refer to the coefficient of in the parameterization of as the -th multiplication polynomial. We show that this coefficient is a degree- rational polynomial without a constant term in . We also prove that no primes greater than may appear in the denominators of its terms. As a consequence, for every finite field and any , we prescribe the group structure of a generic elliptic curve defined over , and we show that their ECDLP on may be efficiently solved.
