“…An elliptic curve E a,b over F q is given by the Weierstrass equation Y 2 Z = X 3 + aXZ 2 + bZ 3 , where the coefficients a, b are in F q . It is well known that elliptic curves are a versatile cryptographic tool [2,4,6,19,20,21,22,25], and in particular, that their group structure plays a crucial role in such applications, see [13,14,18,23]. This work follows the series of works that study elliptic curves on finite rings.…”
