Abstract

Recently, some cryptographic primitives have been described that are based on the supposed hardness of finding an isogeny between two (supersingular) elliptic curves. As a part of such a primitive, Charles et al. proposed an algorithm for computing sequences of 2-isogenies. However, their method involves several redundant computations. We construct simple algorithms without such redundancy, based on very compact descriptions of the 2-isogenies. For that, we use some observations on 2-torsion points.
