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 ...
The paper shows that some of elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic three of composite degree are attacked by a more effective algorithm than Pollard’s ρ method...
