In this paper, the authors analyze the Gaudry–Hess–Smart (GHS) Weil descent attack on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) for elliptic curves defined over c...
We compare the method of Weil descent for solving the ECDLP, over extensions fields of composite degree in characteristic two, against the standard method of parallelised Pollard ...
Abstract. We generalize the Weil descent construction of the GHS attack to arbitrary Artin-Schreier extensions. We give a formula for the characteristic polynomial of Frobenius of ...
Since Boneh and Franklin published their seminal paper on identity based encryption (IBE) using the Weil pairing , there has been a great deal of interest in cryptographic primitiv...
