Counting Points On Elliptic Curves - Naive Approach

Naive Approach

The naive approach to counting points, which is the least sophisticated, involves running through all the elements of the field and testing which ones satisfy the Weierstrass form of the elliptic curve


y^2 = x^3 + Ax + B. \,

Famous quotes containing the words naive and/or approach:

    Cynicism is full of naive disappointments.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Girls tend to attribute their failures to factors such as lack of ability, while boys tend to attribute failure to specific factors, including teachers’ attitudes. Moreover, girls avoid situations in which failure is likely, whereas boys approach such situations as a challenge, indicating that failure differentially affects self-esteem.
    Michael Lewis (late–20th-century)
