The problem of constructing elliptic curves suitable for pairing applications has received a lot of attention. To solve this, we propose a variant algorithm of a known method by Brezing and Weng. We produce new families of parameters using…
We define and study the Weil pairing on the moduli of twisted curves. If $X$ is a twisted curve, then we can combinatorially describe a certain subgroup and a quotient group of $\text{Pic}(X)[2]$ that are Weil dual. Moreover, the pairing…
Pairings have been widely used since their introduction to cryptography. They can be applied to identity-based encryption, tripartite Diffie-Hellman key agreement, blockchain and other cryptographic schemes. The Acceleration of pairing…
We extend the method of Cassels for computing the Cassels-Tate pairing on the 2-Selmer group of an elliptic curve, to the case of 3-Selmer groups. This requires significant modifications to both the local and global parts of the…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by a ring $R$, where $R$ is an order in an imaginary quadratic field or quaternion algebra. We define sesquilinear pairings ($R$-linear in one variable and $R$-conjugate linear in the…

The Weil pairing on elliptic curves has deep links with discrete logarithm problems. In practice, to better suit the functionalities of cryptosystems, one often needs to modify the original Weil pairing via what is called a distortion map.…
We present an algorithm that computes the Hasse-Witt matrix of given hyperelliptic curve over Q at all primes of good reduction up to a given bound N. It is simpler and faster than the previous algorithm developed by the authors.
We use the invariant theory of binary quartics to give a new formula for the Cassels-Tate pairing on the $2$-Selmer group of an elliptic curve. Unlike earlier methods, our formula does not require us to solve any conics. An important role…
An algorithm is given to compute a normal form for hyperelliptic curves. The elliptic case has been treated in a previous paper. In this paper the hyperelliptic case is treated.
We present algorithms to compute the topology of 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves. The algorithms are based on the fact that 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves can be seen as the image of a planar curve (the Weierstrass form of the curve), whose…
We give an efficient algorithm to compute equations of twists of hyperelliptic curves of arbitrary genus over any separable field (of characteristic different from 2), and we explicitly describe some interesting examples.
We explicitly compute the Cassels-Tate pairing on the 2-Selmer group of an elliptic curve using the Albanese-Albanese definition of the pairing given by Poonen and Stoll. This leads to a new proof that a pairing defined by Cassels on the…
