// Counts points on GF(p) Elliptic Curve, y^2=x^3+Ax+B a prerequisite 
// for implemention of  Elliptic Curve Cryptography
// This program is intended as an aid to Cryptographers in generating 
// suitable curves (ideally with a prime number of points) with respect 
// to prime moduli from 160 to 512 bits in length. This can be done with
// relatively modest computing facilities - the average home computer and
// a little patience will suffice.
//
// An "ideal" curve is defined as one with with prime number of points.

// Thanks are due to Richard Crandall for his encouragment, and the idea of 
// using projective co-ordinates.
//
// NOTE: Only for use on curves over large prime modulus P. 
// For smaller P use schoof.exe utility available from the same source.
//
// This first version does not process so-called Atkin primes
// Schoof's original algorithm is used for primes 3, 5 and 7 (this facilitates
// "early abort" using the -s option).
//
// After that only Elkies primes are used.  It is therefore not as fast as it 
// could be, particularly for smaller values of the prime modulus P. 
// However when the asymptotics kick-in, it starts to get competitive (when 
// you need it to). Since the average Cryptographer will only wish to 
// generate a few curves for practical use, this is deemed to be adequate. 
// The final continuation uses Pollard's Lambda ("kangaroo") algorithm.
//
// It is envisaged that from time-to-time this program will be modified
// and hopefully improved - that is speeded up.
// In particular it is planned to exploit Atkin Primes to allow two herds of 
// kangaroos complete the job more efficiently
//
// Asyptotically the algorithm should take time O(log(p)^5)
// However the Kangaroo continuation favours "smaller" curves, while
// the asymptotic behaviour is more accurate for "bigger" curves
//
// Timings in minutes:- random curves 180MHz Pentium Pro 
// (ignoring time to generate Modular Polynomials)

// 192-bit       5.5     5.5     3.5    4.8         2.5
// 224-bit       9       7.5    10      8.8         5.4

// 512-bit     600     357     398    452         336
//
// As can be seen the asymptotic behaviour of the program would appear to 
// be about right. The wide variations in timing for the same size of curve
// is typical - it depends on how "lucky" you are finding Elkies Primes

// ****************
// Instructions for use
//
// First run the utility "mueller" to build up a collection of Modular 
// Polynomials. Each modular polynomial is associated with a small odd prime. 
// This needs to be done once only - ever, but you can from time 
// to time augment your collection of Polynomials by running it again. 
// Its quite time consuming, but in less than an hour you should have enough 
// to get started. The more you have, the bigger the prime modulus that you 
// can use.
//
// Then run the utility "process" to process the raw polynomial file with 
// respect to your chosen prime modulus P. This need to be done just once for
// every prime modulus of interest to you. This takes only a few minutes at 
// most.
//
// An alternative is to use instead the "modpol" application, which is a
// composite of "mueller" and "process". It directly generates the Modular 
// Polynomials reduced wrt a pre-specified prime modulus, suitable for 
// immediate use by "sea". If working with limited computing resources such 
// that sufficient generic Modular Polynomials cannot be generated by 
// "mueller", this may be your only alternative.
//
// Finally run this program "sea" specifying the A and B parameters of the 
// particular curve. This program can also search through many curves for 
// a curve ideal for cryptographic use (with a prime number of points).
//
// For example try:-
//
// mueller 0 120 -o mueller.raw
// process -f 65112*2#144-1 -i mueller.raw -o test160.pol
// sea -3 49 -i test160.pol
//
// Here the "mueller" program generates modular polynomials for all odd primes
// in the range 0 - 120 into the file mueller.raw. The "process" application
// reduces these 'raw' polynomials wrt the 160 bit prime modulus 
// P = 65112*2^144-1 to a file test160.pol. The "sea" application uses this 
// file to count the points on the curve Y^2 = X^3 - 3X + 49 mod P 
//
// Alternatively:-
//
// modpol -f 65112*2#144-1 0 120 -o test160.pol
// sea -3 49 -i test160.pol
//
// The number of Modular Polynomials required depends on the size of the 
// prime modulus P. It is also random in the sense that it depends on the 
// probability of each small prime being an "Elkies" prime wrt the given curve. 
// In the vast majority of cases the range suggested to "mueller" or "modpol" 
// should be 0 to bits(P), where bits(P) is the number of bits in P. However 
// you might get away with a much smaller value if you are lucky with your 
// "Elkies" primes. If modular polynomials could not be generated for all
// primes in the range, due to the use of the -s2, -s3 or -s6 flag in 
// "mueller" or "modpol" (see comments in mueller.cpp), then a somewhat 
// larger range might be needed.
//
// When using the "sea" program, the -s option is particularly useful
// and allows automatic search for an "ideal" curve. If a curve order is
// exactly divisible by a small prime, that curve is immediately abandoned, 
// and the program moves on to the next, incrementing the B parameter of 
// the curve. This is a fairly arbitrary but simple way of moving on to 
// the "next" curve. 
//
// Note that if a prime q is an Atkin prime, then we know at least that q 
// is not a factor of NP, in other words that NP mod q != 0.
// This can be easily proved.
//
// NOTE: The output file can be used directly with for example the ECDSA
// programs IF AND ONLY IF an ideal curve is found. If you wish to use
// a less-than-ideal curve, you will first have to factor NP completely, and
// find a random point of large prime order.
