Title
Counting Hyperelliptic Curves That Admit A Koblitz Model
Abstract
Let k = F-q be a finite field of odd characteristic. We find a closed formula for the number of k-isomorphism classes of pointed, and non-pointed, hyperelliptic curves of genus g over k, admitting a Koblitz model. These numbers are expressed as a polynomial in q with integer coefficients (for pointed curves) and rational coefficients (for non-pointed curves). The coefficients depend on g and the set of divisors of q - 1 and q + 1. These formulas show that the number of hyperelliptic curves of genus g suitable (in principle) for cryptographic applications is asymptotically (1 - e(-1)) 2q(2g-1), and not 2q(2g-1) as it was believed. The curves of genus g = 2 and g = 3 are more resistant to the attacks to the DLP; for these values of g the number of curves is respectively (91/72)q(3) + O(q(2)) and (3641/2880)q(5) + O(q(4)).
