Given two elliptic curves over a finite field having the same cardinality and endomorphism ring, it is known that the curves admit an isogeny between them, but finding such an isogeny is believed to be computationally difficult. The fastest…

Consider the problem of efficiently evaluating isogenies $\phi: E \to E/H$ of elliptic curves over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where the kernel $H = \langle G\rangle$ is a cyclic group of odd (prime) order: given $E$, $G$, and a point…

In this paper, we study isogeny graphs of supersingular elliptic curves. Supersingular isogeny graphs were introduced as a hard problem into cryptography by Charles, Goren, and Lauter for the construction of cryptographic hash functions…

For a finite field $\mathbf{F}_{p^k}$ and a prime $\ell \neq p$, consider the graph $G$ of $\ell$-isogenies between ordinary elliptic curves over $\mathbf{F}_{p^k}$. Kohel proved that the connected components of $G$ have a remarkable…
