A brief discussion on selecting new elliptic curves

MSR-TR-2015-46 |

Position paper presented at the NIST Workshop on Elliptic Curve Cryptography Standards (http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/ct/ecc-workshop.cfm).

This position paper summarizes our perspectives on the selection of next-generation elliptic curves for standardization. It also contains generation algorithms intended as a foundation for choosing elliptic curves for cryptography in a simple, consistent and rigid way.
