Elliptic Curves: Number Theory and Cryptography, Second Edition

by Lawrence C. Washington

Like its bestselling predecessor, this second edition develops the theory of elliptic curves to provide a basis for both number theoretic and cryptographic applications. It now includes new chapters on isogenies and hyperelliptic curves, a more complete treatment of the Tate-Lichtenbaum pairing, alternative coordinate systems and related computational issues, and Doud's analytic method for computing torsion on elliptic curves over Q.
