Analysis of the GHS Weil Descent Attack on the ECDLP over Characteristic Two Finite Fields of Composite Degree
Markus Maurer, Alfred Menezes, and Edlyn Teske
Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the Gaudry-Hess-Smart (GHS) Weil descent
attack on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) for
elliptic curves defined over characteristic two finite fields of
composite extension degree. For each such field
