Description:

Like its bestselling predecessor, this book develops the theory of elliptic curves to provide a basis for both number theoretic and cryptographic applications. This edition now includes alternative coordinate systems and related computational issues, a more elementary treatment of the TateLichtenbaum pairing, additional elliptic curve cryptosystems, and Douds analytic method for computing torsion on elliptic curves over Q. It also contains new chapters on isogenies and hyperelliptic curves as well as discusses how to compute elliptic curves in some popular computer algebra systems. Basic exercises appear at the end of each chapter, with selected answers in an appendix.
