Character sums with division polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We obtain nontrivial estimates of quadratic character sums of division polynomials Psin(P), n=1,2,..., evaluated at a given point P on an elliptic curve over a finite field of q elements. Our bounds are nontrivial if the order of P is at least q1/2+epsilon for some fixed epsilon>0. This work is motivated by an open question about statistical indistinguishability of some cryptographically relevant sequences which has recently been brought up by K. Lauter and the second author.
