As we have seen in Section 6.1, the elements of a finite cyclic groupGmay be used to implement several cryptographic schemes, provided that finding logarithms of elements in G is infeasible. We may takeGto be a cyclic subgroup ofE(Fq), the group ofFq-rational points of an elliptic curve defined overFq; this was first suggested by N. Koblitz [10] and V. Miller [17]. Since the addition in this group is relatively simple, and moreover the discrete logarithm problem inGis believed to be intractable, elliptic curve cryptosystems have the potential to provide security equivalent to that of existing public key schemes, but with shorter key lengths. Having short key lengths is a factor that can be crucial in some applications, for example the design of smart card systems.
