Construction Of Rational Points On Elliptic Curves Over Finite Fields, Andrew Shallue, Christiaan E. Van De Woestijne
Andrew Shallue
We give a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm that computes a nontrivial rational point on an elliptic curve over a finite field, given a Weierstrass equation for the curve. For this, we reduce the problem to the task of finding a rational point on a curve of genus zero.
