Elliptic Curves
Not what you're looking for?
Let E be the elliptic curve over F5 defined by y^2 = x^3+1.
1. Write down the division polynomial (psi_3)(x) for this curve.
2. Show that the greatest common divisor of (psi_3)(x) and "x^5 -x" is "x(x-1)."
3. Use part (2) to show that the 3-torsion points in E(F5) are {Origin,(0,1),(0,-1)}."
