Multiplication polynomials for elliptic curves over finite local rings

International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC), 2023
Abstract

For a given elliptic curve EE over a finite local ring, we denote by EE^{\infty} its subgroup at infinity. Every point PEP \in E^{\infty} can be described solely in terms of its xx-coordinate PxP_x, which can be therefore used to parameterize all its multiples nPnP. We refer to the coefficient of (Px)i(P_x)^i in the parameterization of (nP)x(nP)_x as the ii-th multiplication polynomial. We show that this coefficient is a degree-ii rational polynomial without a constant term in nn. We also prove that no primes greater than ii may appear in the denominators of its terms. As a consequence, for every finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q and any kNk\in\mathbb{N}^*, we prescribe the group structure of a generic elliptic curve defined over Fq[X]/(Xk)\mathbb{F}_q[X]/(X^k), and we show that their ECDLP on EE^{\infty} may be efficiently solved.
