Abstract

Subgroups of elliptic curves over binary fields are a popular mathematical platform to implement cryptographic primitives and protocols. Using Shor's algorithm to tackle the discrete logarithm problem in such groups leads to the question of efficiently implementing the underlying group arithmetic on a quantum computer.
